Remembering Japanese cars from the past
Mercedes Stout? WTF? Yes, that was also my reaction when I read kyteler’s posting on retro-classics!
Mercedes (Toyota) Stout pickup truck
Personally I like the 60s look of the Toyota Stout truck, but this Mercedes face swap actually looks great as well!
For sale for only 980,000 yen (10,000 dollar!) on Goo-net:

Ever seen Star Trek dubbed in a different language? You may have, but it is nowhere near to this Japanese dub of the first episode:
Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock both have almost the same voice over so it is hard to distinguish them. Too bad Scotty does not feature in this prologue…
Another shot from the same episode:
It is really weird to see all those American actors speak fluent Japanese. I only wonder what they did with the voice of Hikaru Sulu. :D :D
This week more videos from nasubiayu!
More of the white AT142 Corona and the black Carina coupe AA63:
This time joined by a KE70 four door sedan.
And how about this Carina tearing up the last corner before straight on Mobara:
And as a bonus:
Another video of the white AT142 Corona hardtop coupe!
I love these old JDM Toyota Chaser ads from the early 80s! Something about them makes them really 80s. Maybe the Chaser chime they use?
Especially this chime reminds me of the Sega chime. :D
The background tune is Please Please Me by the Beatles and it suits this SG Tourer model very well! BTW: the SG Tourer is a 1G-EU powered GX61, so not the more sporty 1G-GEU model.
How about some sporty action from this 5M-GTEU powered MX63 then? Of course the commercial screams (and chimes) the word Turbo all over it! And a happy birthday to you as well!
Or fancy a bit more quiet hardtop sedan then?
I did post some Skyline van videos before and all of them were by Deluxe1969. Now this video shows his own van: his Nissan Skyline VC110 van!
Beautiful, isn’t it?
The car itself is a G-16 powered Skyline deluxe, so double barrel carburettor and 100hp on the tap. I have no idea what the thing on the roof is, but IMO it looks like an ex-ambulance…
You can also see it in action in this video:
Now I want one too! Anyone who wants to buy a kidney? ;)
