(Sorry I couldn't figure out how to get the quote function to only copy the one image, Mike, so here's the credit to your sleuthing for this pic. You're right, this one should have been a reporter in "Cars 2".) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabrux Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 This car was apparently based off a British car, so the resemblance isn't that surprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotrod59f100 Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 What's the reason for the off road suspension? Did Japan have many paved roads at that time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 Look closely at the photos. The car is literally jacked up with portable jacks. My guess would be to keep the weight and stress off the suspension while the car is displayed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pre Monster truck days.....Early body lift...... :P I think it was a postwar Japans answer to the jeep....Notice the tires...... :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok , I'm done laughing . This is a clue on how it rode . Like a Jeep . "Rock Steady" describes the ride . Not only a Rock Song . Also , possibly a boobie trap . Get too close and they gotcha , as the car falls on you . Remember ..no touching ! Thanx .. Edited February 27, 2012 by dimaxion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
