MEET & JOIN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA'S JAPANESE OLD SCHOOL CARS: BACK TO THE PAST.

Welcome to the Japanese Classic Car Show. Open to all Japanese old school car enthusiasts in So-Cal (including JDM lovers!). The Japanese Classic Car Show will be held at the Queen Mary in Long Beach on Oct. 1st 2005. The event runs from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. All the "Old School" Japanese brands of cars will really bring you back into the 60's, 70's and 80's. The basic principle of this car show is to enjoy "no matter what the make or models are" within the various makes of Japanese cars (including, but not limited to: Datsun, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Honda, Mitsubishi...).

On our event flyer can be seen Chinese writing or Kanji, which reads "Kyu-sha Shu-kai" and means "Classic Car/Old School Car Meeting." The various Japanese car brands have existed in the U.S.A. since the early 60's, however their popularity is not so great as compared to the American cars ? yet, at ongoing events, it still seems that people tend to gather only within the same make & models, (since there are still plenty of numbers of these cars). In mother country Japan, it is more common to gather all classic cars no matter what the models & makes are. That is usually how the classic car meetings or shows are held in Japan, and the reason is simple: the majority of these classics have rusted away and many are no longer drivable in Japan - or they have just been kept hidden away in garages for the whole time. Quite simply, the fact is that the number of Japanese Classics seen here in California is more than can be seen in Japan. Thank you for this dry climate!

You may ask, "Why all those flowers behind the cars on the flyer?" What you are seeing is called Hana-Fuda, and literally means "Flower Cards." They are Japanese playing cards that are about half the size of regular playing cards and are very traditional and famous as a card game in Japan. They are categorized into 12 kinds of flowers, plus the Moon, the Sun, and as animals, as symbols of the 4 seasons.　Back in the 1980's in Japan, especially among the young Japanese classic car enthusiasts, it was popular to use such "symbols" expressed in Japanese with Kanji, and idioms and sayings from the WWII era. They used "Kami-kaze", and the big "Rising Sun" style (as painted on the WWII fighter planes) and the Hana-fuda images to design their 70's Toyota, Mazda, & Datsun cars. This was done in order to get inspired by symbols of SPEED & STRENGTH. During this time the U.S.A. was still "a foreign country far away" for most of the people of Japan.

It's already been 45 years since the very first Japanese vehicle was ported with a pounding heart in California. Who could have imagined what the remarkable popularity of Japanese cars would be? The continuation of persevering efforts and skills of the Japanese car manufacturers has made this significant improvement - strong will and a priority for "manufacturing high-quality automobiles that satisfy people". And so, the popularity of Japanese classics has grown. The Japanese Classic Car Show is a safe and fun, family oriented event on a sparkling green grass park, in front of the ocean & the mother ship Queen Mary. It is not only about cars, it is about the Japanese culture and respect for old sprits. Bring the kids and enjoy Southern California's blue skies and peaceful ocean breezes while viewing some of the finest Japanese Classics in America.

Nuno, desculpa, não era um corona, era um crown, foi um lapso meu, e não era branco, era azul, e aqui fica a foto dele, os interiores não pareciam ter o tecido original, mas por fora tava bem conservado, pinturinha nova e tudohttp://www.deephousepage.com/smilies/gap.gif ALT=":[upss]">
