I visited the Commemorative Museum during my first trip to Japan in 2005. I didn't do a good job of documenting things, but, I do have a few pictures...
The museum is broken up into two major sections, the first is dedicated to Textile Machinery, the second is the Automobile Pavilion. The photos below are from the AUtomobile Pavilion.
Here you see the Promenade of Representative Models, of which can be seen, from left to right: Toyota Truck Type G1, ToyoAce SKB and a 1955 Toyopet Crown. In the background can be seen some of the many working assembly line machine displays.
This sequence of photos shows the production of the Model AA.
As far as I know and have read, NO surviving examples of the Model AA existed, so all the cars we see today are reproductions buit from the original blueprints.
Lastly is a book published in 1995, in English.
The museum opened June 11 1994 on the 100th anniversary of Kiichiro Toyoda's birthday.
I highly recommend that anyone interested in Toyota visit this museum when in Japan!
