Imagine our surprise and delight when we realized the official press-room coffee-drink cans here in Tokyo — the same ones that kept us firing on most cylinders — are collectibles. Each one in the series features a JDM classic. We collected 'em all: The 1969 Nissan Fairlady Z432 (Datsun 240Z), 1967 Toyota 2000GT, 1970 Suzuki Jimny, 1969 Mitsubishi Delica Coach-Deluxe, 1970 Subaru R-2SS and 1978 Mazda RX-7. Now if we can only get our hands to stop shaking.

What a perfect COTD prize pack!
I assume each image signifies what crushed cars the coffee can is made from.
when i was there a year or so ago suntory boss (i think) had cans with a little laborghini model in a plastic cap attached to the can. i also got a tiny little mazda cosmo model from from spring water as an extra. search the convenience stores as they usually have some sort of good promo like that somewhere.
@TinaChow: good one! unfortunately, you are correct in that very few of these cars exist in the real world anymore.
sad.
@TinaChow: Or the opposite. TOYOTA = Tons of your old tincans assembled.
If they are unopened, these would make a great contest prize in the near future.
The only thing better would be Pocari Sweat collectors' cans.
That's pretty JDM...
@brendastarlet: I brought back one of those on my last trip to Japan. No idea why.
Man, all those Japanese souvenirs (including rare Z32 300ZX model kits and vintage Game Gears) are a bitch when you have to lug it around China and Tibet for a month.
I must collect them all, like Pokemon
@jnostalgics: "Jalopokkacan"
Double rad.
You must have had a super great fun time collecting them all!
Kawaii! The only thing that would have made collecting these better, would have been if they were filled with Biru! KAMPAI!
