Hello,
Throughout the next month I will be doing a number of "101" posts about different aspects of Japanese car culture and I don't think there is a better place to start than with the classic car scene in Japan. After all, the Japanese tuning culture that is so popular around the world would not exist without these nostalgic machines. While it has only been in the past few years that vintage Japanese cars have gained mainstream popularity outside of Japan, most of these cars have held legend status in their homeland for a while now. Although I don't consider myself on expert on classic Japanese cars, I have had the opportunity to visit many classic car events here and I have a pretty good grasp on what the scene is like. I am going to outline some of the most popular models and talk a little about the status that some of these cars hold in Japan. Although American and European classics also have a strong following in Japan, for now I am going to stick with Japanese domestic cars.
Just like in other countries, the classic car scene in Japan is divided into many different sub-categories. Some owners prefer showroom restorations, some prefer modified street cars, some are into nostalgic auto racing, others prefer upgrading their cars with modern running gear like the American pro touring style. Of course you also have the whole bosozoku/granchan/shakotan movements but we will be saving those for another post.
Thanks
