The Toyopet Master was released at the same time as the first-generation Crown (Model RS), featuring new styling and an improved chassis to replace the Toyopet Super (RHK/RHN). Although its basic performance was the same as the Crown Model RS, the Toyopet Super was specifically designed for use as a taxi, adopting a fixed axle suspension to endure strenuous use and give more space to the cabin at the same time. This design was thus a rational solution that made the best use of the limited vehicle space available. However, as it came to be recognized that the Crown was also suitable for use as a taxi, production of the Master was discontinued in November 1956. The Master had van and pickup versions that had been released under the Masterline brand, but these models were also replaced by the Crown-based van and pickup truck that joined the Masterline family in March 1959.
