    Bonus points on the I-Mark to anyone who knows where the fuel filler door is. Hint: Take a good look at the last green coupe picture I posted. The Sedan has it in the same place.

    That I-Mark is awesome. I have some kind of an affinity for Isuzu passenger cars, mostly because there are so few of them, and because the Stylus was so damned '80s-tastic.

    @Gutpunch McRodbender, a strolling player's understudy: Well, get ready to feast your eyes on this.... It's an Isusu Gemini, and yes, it was once sold here as the Buick Opel by Isuzu. And they did sell it here as the I-Mark for a while:

    Looks like a third Mazda pickup in the driveway. The myriad forms cargeek obsession takes is fascinating.

    I have never seen an I-Mark. Hell, there's only one Mazda pickup of that vintage anywhere around here - it never seems to move from its roadside perch, but it looks to be in good shape.

    Always liked the mazda Pickups, for some odd reason, even though they didn't have the rotary.


    Joe Isuzu would be so proud. And then he'd steal your watch, while slapping you on the back.

    Once upon a time, I thought that a rotary was the only transplant answer for any smaller vehicle. I've since moved on to bigger fantasies.

    Ah, the I-Mark - the Chevette's unglamorous overseas cousin. Been quite a while since I've seen one of these. Did the I-Mark use the same engine as the dreaded diesel Chevette?


    I didn't even know that Mazda sold diesel pickups. Now here's a challenge - HUGE bonus points if anyone a can turn up a mid-'70s DOTS Mazda Rotary Pickup.

    @UDMan: Great pictures. Stuffing rotary engines into pickups and selling them - someone at Mazda in the 1970s had a wonderfully Jalopnik attitude.

    @tonyola: What do pickups need?


    Torque.


    What do rotary engines have a miserable lack of?


    Pumpkin seeds.


    Also torque.

    @UDMan: Lest we forget, the "Buick Opel by Isuzu." That tape stripe is fantastic.
