Antique Cars and Hand Cranked Engines: Toyota Automobile Museum

 This was a very old car as you can see from the well worn interior. I like the design of the seats which look like they came out of a sitting room.

 この車の中を見るととてもふふくてよくつかわれてたとわかりますね。私がいちばんすきなのはいすがむかしのリビングルームにあった見たいないすです。

 Hand cranked engine. Never thought I would see one of these in person before!

  1. Despite of its worn interior, its steering wheel and exterior still shines in the light - it's something to still be proud of. As far as I know, the oldest Japanese car is 1937 Datsun also known as the "Baby Car" which was sold last February 3, 2006 - how lucky the owner of this baby, I bet the car is definitely pampered.

    1. Hi Lisa,
      Thank you for your comment! From what I have heard all the cars at this museum is very well taken cared of. They maintain the cars as well as they can. If the cars run they make sure to turn on the engine every so often.

  2. I must admit you share a tremendous amount of information regarding that center. Personally i will take care of every single word that you had mention over here.

    1. Yes, I tend to get a little snap happy, but that just means there was a lot of things that I really liked or enjoyed! My hope is that this will make people want to go and see everything in person. And maybe this will make people stop and look at the finer details of things instead of only the big picture.

      Thank you for commenting!
