With apologies for the tiny photo, but if you can squint and tell me the make and model name, your reward is one whole AP point

No replies, so...

Indeed

Does the manufacturer still produce automobiles?

Good try but a lot more obscure than that...

mymokke · « **Reply #8 on:** October 31, 2011, 11:27:44 PM »

Is the manufacturer better recognized in the aviation arena?

Quiller · « **Reply #9 on:** November 01, 2011, 12:16:10 PM »

I'm not totally sure of this company's other activities at the time but I'm fairly sure aviation was not among them

Prince ?

D-type · « **Reply #11 on:** November 01, 2011, 04:08:43 PM »

a Hino?

Quiller · « **Reply #12 on:** November 02, 2011, 01:31:22 PM »

Neither Prince nor Hino.
It's considerably more obscure...

Ishikawajima?

Not that...

If the company has no aviation connection does it have a motor cycle connection?

Again I'm not 100% sure of all this company's activities at the time; but if there was a motor cycle connection I'm not aware of it

Yes it is!
Dating from 1955
Idemitsu is of course better known for its oils

Arunas · « **Reply #20 on:** January 04, 2012, 11:38:32 AM »

Beat me to it! Congrats, Pal!

autospeurder · « **Reply #21 on:** January 06, 2012, 08:44:52 AM »

Why did Idemitsu make this car? Were they thinking about starting up their own car factory?
Is this the only road car they ever made? Where was the car made in Japan?

I'm afrad I only have a Japanese-language clipping for this car. Quite a few prototypes were made around this period (as the 'K' class was formed) so I'd guess it was one of those

I´ve never even heard about this one...

That´s why I love autopuzzles.com!
