Correct again.

The first front-wheel-drive car in Japan is believed to be the Roland-go, manufactured in 1931 by renowned racing driver Kazuo Kawamata. An improved model, the Tsukuba-go, was produced by Tokyo Jidosha Seizo for three years starting in 1935 . It came in three body types-sedan, hooded wagon, and truck-and about 130 units were manufactured. The car was named after Mt. Tsukuba in the Kanto area. The Tsukuba was the subject of this puzzle:

Can you change the subject on this so those who may be looking for it later can find it?
