1994 Mitsubishi Bravo Super Exceed

I didn't actually choose this one to contrast with the previous post, but it certainly fits the bill. The numerous details of the front have a surprisingly pleasant effect compared to some other overwrought Mitsubishi products.

I must also admit the the reflections of the church across the street were unintended, but a nice bonus.

Honourary Old Parked Car: 1998 Suzuki Alto Sport Limited

1992 Suzuki Carry Fire Truck

It might also be a Autozam (Mazda) Scrum.

The graffiti in #2 might say "Antifa".

1989 Autozam (Mazda) Carol

Honourary Old Parked Car: 1996 Daihatsu Midget II Cargo

I debated whether this car belonged on the blog, seeing how new and shiny it is, but in the end I could not resist.

Only nominally a 2 seater -- there are 2 seats, 2 headrests, 2 seatbelts, but the people who rode together would have to be very good friends. Also, since it is so narrow, the steering wheel cannot be far from the center, so it is only slightly right hand drive.

Love the tapering front end, the space-agey seams & shut-lines combined with the old fashioned headlights and fenders, the silly-yet-practical spare tire placement, the way the door latches blend into the black paint around the windows. Oh and the single reverse light.

BTW, just above the fuel door in #1 they have mounted a business card tray, which has cards in it.

1990 Nissan S-Cargo

I've been wanting to post an S-Cargo for a while now. There are several around town. Like the Toyota Sera and the Nissan Figaro (which I will get, sooner or later) this was purely meant for Japan, and for whatever odd niche they fit there.

First I love the sheer crazy audacity of creating a van like this -- the vast glass area, the toy like circular shapes, the impractical windows. Next, repeating the shape in the details -- the mirrors, speedometer & dash, taillights, heck even the wheelwells. Once again, it would never happen in North America.
