Today I decided to wander around Minami Nagareyama and the surrounding areas here in Nagareyama with my camera. After failing to spot any old cars in the weeks previous I had given up seeing anything from the 70s let alone the 50s and 60s. Then, only 5 minutes from my flat I spotted this beast!
Parked next to another imported car (a Jaguar... GO UK hahaha) was this monstrous Dodge. I have no idea of the model, or even the age, but I would guess maybe early 1950s. I've certainly never seen anything like it.
(Having done an internet search I can confirm that it's a Dodge Coronet from 1949. On the bonnet there is a mascot in the shape of a ram's head. This thing is built like a tank!)
So a success of a sort. It's NOT Japanese, not even right hand drive, but it IS old, and it IS in Japan, so I suppose it counts as a Showa era car, haha.
