What's The Cutoff Year For Japanese DOTS Cars?

We may earn a commission from links on this page.

With today's Down On The Street car a mid-1980s Japanese immigrant- and having burned through most of my stockpile of BDRE (Before Datsun Rebranding Era, i.e., 1982) Japanese DOTS photos in honor of our Japan Week festivities- the time has come for us to decide just how old a Japanese car must be to make it in the series. Here in Alameda, early ADRE Japanese cars are so common that I don't really notice most of them, but maybe they've all turned to red dust in the rest of the country...


So here's your chance to vote on the matter. Pick the latest year you'd like to see for Japanese Down On The Street Cars. Naturally, anything really rare or oddball will be exempt from the year cutoff; this will apply only to the more mundane stuff.
