Interesting...When I was a kid I lived in Japan (late fifties), traveled with my dad in a '54 Ford Stationwagon. Most of what I saw (besides the bigger cities like Tokyo) looked like something out of Hiroshige paintings. Now it's become fifties/sixties California. Other than cops on bikes, I don't remember seeing any bikes...and certainly not 'Rockabilly' Model A Fords! Do remember seeing a Cadillac Dealership, but it was mostly micro Datsuns,Toyopets,and Mazda and miniature trucks running around.

ReplyDeleteThat El Camino (Ranchero?) with the two Honda's in back is probably the coolest set up I have ever seen! Those guys have style for miles... thanks!
