    Celebrating 450 Old Vehicles Down On The Alameda Street: The Japanese

    We saw the non-German European Alameda DOTS machines yesterday, and today we'll admire the old Japanese iron that still survives on the streets of the Island That Rust Forgot.

    The Gawker Server Hamsters won't let me show you all 450 cars and trucks (actually more than 480 by now) at once- they go into an angry rodent frenzy that just isn't pretty when I try- but we'll get to all of them this way. Next up… maybe the trucks? The Detroit compacts? Who can say? For now, enjoy the Datsuns, Toyotas, Hondas, Mazdas, and Mitsubishis. I've included some Ford and Chrysler captive imports, such as the Plymouth Fire Arrow and the Ford Courier, since they're 100% Japanese designed and built.
