[pnegyesi]

Locked for kwgibbs to find the model name

[kwgibbs]

I think its the Idemitsu (Banbi) of 1956?

[pnegyesi]

it has an English name written on the front. Still locked

[kwgibbs]

was there more than one model?,I did find the name Bambi ,Im curious if the name Banbi that I found earlier was a typo.

[pnegyesi]

The Bambi has already been the subject of a puzzle:
https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2012-41/q775-solved-1955-idemitsu-industries-bambi/

[kwgibbs]

unfortunately I can,t find anyother information or pictures of the Idemitsu model,s,it must a different site than I have.

[pnegyesi]

it is a very interesting model name. Try to think of a supernatural being and the subject of a Robbie Williams song. Still locked

[kwgibbs]

I have to ask,was the supernatural being good or evil?

[pnegyesi]

well, you it was a good - just think about a very well known Robbie Williams song

[kwgibbs]

Is it the 1956 Idemitsu Angel?

Cleaning up and found these. Notice the different grille on '1001'.

According to Jeremy Risdon's great Pomchi books this puzzle's subject is not an Idemitsu Angel, but a Sanyu Angel. Sanyu Sangyo took over some left over Idemitsu Bambi cars (https://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/2012-41/q775-solved-1955-idemitsu-industries-bambi/) after Idemitsu went bankrupt, modified them slightly and sold them as the Sanyu Angel. So your car #1001 is an Idemitsu Bambi, while the last picture shows a Sanyu Angel. The header of this topic should be changed accordingly.
