(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".)

This 1961Mitsubishi 500 had me going for a while too:

I love the lift kit......Wonder how it drives.... :P

This car was apparently based off a British car, so the resemblance isn't that surprising.

What's the reason for the off road suspension? Did Japan have many paved roads at that time?

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.

The jacks ...lol ... 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 ..
