Our '86 Camry doesn't run anymore either, and it too leaks oil (among other things 
)
I don't even want to imagine all the fluid stains I would see on the driveway if I looked underneath that car

Nope, found the pictures of that car (a white Corona GT-TR) on some Japanese page.
I do have an '84 Supra with a digital dash, but it doesn't run. I never had any problem with the dash when it was running, it just leaked oil like a sieve. And then the alternator went.

In the US the Camry actually replaced the Corona for 1983, thus we do not have any Coronas newer than 1982 models here.
Nice dash by the way. Although I must imagine all those electronics must be a nightmare after it becomes 20 years old
Where did you get that picture anyway? It looks homemade, is it your car?

i assumed USA Gli Executive would have had this dash aswell
No such thing, the trim levels here were simply Base and LE
I know several Toyotas made around that time had optional digital dashes; Corona, Cressida, Supra. I'd be more suprised if you couldn't get one on a Camry.
Yes, but the Camry was slotted below all three of those cars
Still, I doubt that it ever had it though on any version in any country. At this point in time the Camry was still a very cheap car. A digital dash is a very elegant feature reserved for fancy upscale cars such as the Olds Toranado or Buick Electra. Let me ask you this, do they put leather seats in a Ford Escort?

They really weren't low end cars, I don't know what Toyota's North American lineup was at the time, but at least the Corolla and Tercel were cheaper.
Can anyone provide me with a pic of Camry first gen sedan digital dashboard pic- (UK gli executives had this dash - don't know if other markets did) 
Not entirely helpfull, but I know the Corona and Supra dashboards were the same part, so maybe the Cressida and Camry ones are as well?
Here's an '85 Cressida:

PS. even if I am wrong and it did have a digital dash, I doubt you'll ever find a picture as these cars are very rare these days, especially in the UK where they did not sell very well.

I know my UK Camrys as well as you know the US ones - i can assure you 100 % GUARANTEED -that Gli Executive 1984-86 had digital dash , i remember a friend of mine had one - and i also had brochure which has been sadly misplaced.I disagree with what else you say as the 1984 cheapo Suzuki swift sa310 gl also had a digital dash as did the MG maestro/vauxhall astra /fiat uno turbo none of these were upscale cars -were they?I do agree difficulty in locating a pic - as i exhausted all online avenues before posting here.
Given such gadgetry was more popular in USA i assumed USA Gli Executive would have had this dash aswell
The UK celica supra of that time also had a digital dash.
