Land of the Rising Sun-Day Special Edition: Subaru 1000

If you are a Subaru enthusiast, you should have October 21st marked on your calendar. It was on this day in 1965 that the Subaru 1000 was introduced to the public. The Subaru 1000 was the first production Subaru to use the famous Boxer engine and other staple design features.

This Tomica Limited Vintage version is absolutely spectacular. I’m still blown away by the details, especially the badging. The interior is also legitimate.

I have a corresponding post going up on Oppositelock, detailing the design and engineering of this important car. It’s set to be published tomorrow morning, but I figured I would share this now...

It is almost 11 AM in Gunma, after all...
