A Tale of Two Rare And Low Vintage Japanese Compacts

Judging from his garage, Duane Schaffer likes his vintage vehicles from The Land of the Rising Sun a certain way—slightly odd and extremely low.

We'd say both his Datsun 510 station wagon—equipped with the original vinyl roof—and his airbagged Toyota truck fit this description nicely.

Schaffer and his pair of unique compacts are the subject of "Wagon Heritage", the most recent "Depth of Speed" video. We might not entirely agree with Schaffer's views on automotive aesthetics vs. performance, but it's hard to argue with results like this quirky pair of old imports.

Hat tip to Josh!
