1964 International Harvester Travelall
But this was/is pure honest functionality. with only a few nods to style, and even those being outdated at the time. Interesting features: gas cap just behind the passenger side front wheel, ultra basic dash and controls, deeply curved windshield in contrast to every other pane being entirely flat, "clapping" wipers, and "barn door" style rear doors. And that long rear overhang, in such contrast to the front.
I've seen the owner out and about in this car, it is definitely fully operational.

1984 Ford EXP
Another "sporty" car that never was. Lots of sharp angles, smooth looking surfaces, but the taillights look like they were stolen from a Chrysler Laser. Somehow the stylist couldn't see how ugly the headlight treatment was. Which makes it all the more delightful. Ah the foibles of car company executives.
Still, they did a nice job of integrating the front side marker into the dent strip. The shape of the light blue paint on the front fenders suggests a sleek aerodynamic profile buried under the clunky design.

1993 Subaru Sambar
Since I first became aware of "kei" trucks, I've found them fascinating. And four wheel drive? Almost more than you need!
So small, but remarkably robust looking. You get a sense of how small it is when you see how high the curb comes up on the wheels in #4. Silver seems an unusual colour for these. Much like the Mazda Bongo, the sides of the load bed fold down.
Love the "big truck" style windows, the little latch handle on the gas door, the wire & metal clips that locks the sides and tailgate in place, and the single reverse light. So much functionality in such a small package. Sooner or later I'll post an even smaller truck.
