More Cars of the Past

Two more cars from the Toyota show room in Ikebukuro. First out is a lovely Flying Feather, unfortunately I can’t find anymore information on this car except for the Japanese Wikipedia entry but it looks fantastic with those unusual wheels! Another fun detail is the retractable rear view mirrors trafficators, must be great for pocket parking. More raw data on the car is here. It seems like it is also a convertible, which is funny since unlike Europe, the vast majority of Japanese can’t stand convertibles. Cold winters, hot summers and huge insects flying around I presume. Or maybe they just don’t like that “cab” hairstyle? The lady in the catalog photo surely wouldn’t want her hair messed up! Especially not when she is parked on what looks like an imperial park!

Last picture (and only) is of the very chubby and charming Toyota Publica Sedan. More data info here. It reminds me of one of my childhood favorites, the Volvo Amazon.
