Level 2: Japanese Cars
And now to Level 2 (apologies for some of the images. I discovered my camera was running low on batteries halfway through the museum, so I did a rush job sans flash for a lot of them)...

Datsun Model 112
http://img207.imageshack.**/img207/4308/pa220285oy9.jpg
Toyopet Crown Deluxe. Pretty much the same as the other one, but now Japanese customers were requesting more equipment. This one therefore came with a water heater, radio, luxuray handbrake and two way glass.
http://img208.imageshack.**/img208/2026/pa220286ad2.jpg
Toyopet Master. Built at the same time as the Crown, but this was designed for the taxi market with durability in mind.

Mazda R360 Coupe
http://img208.imageshack.**/img208/5149/pa220291yp7.jpg
