1989 Toyota MasterAce Surf

Another eclectic little spaceship/van straight from Japan. Looks like it should be hovering on a cushion of air. All the streamlining and sunroofs in the world can't hide it's utilitarian roots though.

Still -- gotta like a vehicle where most of the roof is plexiglass.

1989 Jeep Wagoneer Limited

What really draws my attention is the striking resemblance to the mid 60s AMC Ambassador. It's the stacked chrome headlight surround, and that strong horizontal bar across the grille.

That groovy fake wood-grain is a great feature.

1989 Dodge Power Ram

Another victim of damp dark weather. The tags are current, the tires are fine, so this probably a driver, despite the moss.

The black frames around the lights give it a menacing look, along with the dents and dark colour.

1989 Nissan Pao

Another quirky Japan only car. All those deliberately retro features; that muted aluminum inside and out, exposed hinges, folding windows. I suppose a cassette player is not so odd in a car of this vintage. I could not resist a head on shot of the grille and that quizzical front end.

Still keeping an eye out for a Nissan Figaro.
