TL;DR Summary

Toyota reportedly plans to crush a historic 2003 Prius and a 1978 Cressida from its museum collection, with the Prius having set a land speed record at the 2004 Bonneville Speed Week. The cars were spotted in a recycling yard near Dallas, Texas, and it's unclear if they will be sold or parted out. This fate is common for unsellable cars, and while the Prius may pose a potential liability due to its modified high-voltage electronics, the decision to crush the Cressida, which appears to have been previously registered, is puzzling.
