Best five minutes I've ever spent. Really like the 1970 Celica.

@brandegee: Agreed on the Silvia. The Prince R380 is three kinds of awesome as well, and I love the lines on the Isuzu.

Good god I like that Sports 800. I was already dealing with a sweaty forehead after seeing the honey-dripping sex bomb of an Alfa Giuglia on 1st Ave last night, and now this.

Have you ever seen so many chrome fender-mounted mirrors in your life? Where have these things gone? WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS?

How can the GTs and sporty ones look so great and the sedans look so bizarre? There's no crosstalk at all.

There is some severely rad stuff in there. Thank you much, Harumph.

Once again I am struck by the handsomeness of the 65 Silvia. A clean lovely design. My other favorites are the N360 and the 117.

@Bumblebee: i think the 2000gt is one of the most all-around amazing looking cars ever. i stood and stared for a while because seeing one is super rare. i saw no drips in the drip trays but japan is so squeaky clean that i guessed it more preventive than necessary.

I need a '64 Suzuki Carry Van. A precursor to the (gen1) xB?

Great set of cars.

I feel like I could just walk up and put them in my pocket.

Harumph: Bless you. Two questions:

1)How cool are the chrome tailight surrounds on the 2000GT?

2)Do seals spontaneously go bad after a while, necessitating the drip trays?

Nice, Harumph -- these are awesome pics!

If I ever take a trip over to Japan, this will be on my list. The cars are beautiful...

Sports 800 really does look like a 2000GT foetus.

I'm going to Tokyo Show early Nov, do you guys have on Jalopnik Tshirts or something? We should have a drink.
