    Mitsubishi 500 Super Deluxe!

    The popularity of the Fiat 500 really is transcontinental. The guys with the triple diamonds on their white lab coats developed this Mitsubishi 500 during the late '50s, with a production model hitting the roads of Japan in the early '60s. This particular example represents the first racing victory for a Shin Mitsubishi Heavy-Industries automobile. Kazuo Togawa took the 750cc class in the 1962 Macau Grand Prix behind the wheel of a 594cc Super Deluxe 500. Three more Super Deluxes right behind him took 2nd through 4th place, setting the stage for super performance!
