Kailua Toyota

Anyone recall when Kailua Toyota (on Oahu, not Kailua Kona) was open for business?

I know they closed back in the early 1990s.

I'm not looking for specific dates, more like was the dealership around back in the 1950s? 1960s? 1970s? Just don't recall how far back and how long there were in business. Round off to the decade is fine. From your memory is ok.

I tried web search, but the internet is smart or jaded, and consistently take me to Windward Toyota and buying a car, or Toyota. I'm sure that information is on the web, such as the old Star Bulletin or Advertiser (Star Advertiser) websites, or on a discussion forum.

TIA

they opened in 1968 - source: Oct 15, 1968 Star Bulletin ( https://www.newspapers.com/newspage/271018518/ )
..and the new Kailua-Toyota, just opened on the premises of the former Oneawa Super Market, which is the firm's fifth Toyota facility on Oahu..
