Japanese Classic Car Show
By Rob
Editor-in-Chief
The third annual Japanese Classic Car Show was held this weekend in Long Beach. Mazda was celebrating the 40th anniversary of the rotary engine and brought out a bunch of fully restored cars, including rare first-gen Cosmo. There were also a ton of Skylines and of course a ton of other cool vintage Japanese rides. Club4AG and Japanese Nostalgic Car have lots of pics, and you’ll find a short write-up over at Auto-Otaku.com.

To answer Ted on his mirror question, I’m quoting username ChrisV from http://www.car-forums.com/s7/t10275.html
“On the Japanese cars, the mirrors were fender mounted due to governmental regulations stating that the rearview mirrors both had to be viewable through the front windshield INSIDE the swept area of the windshield wipers. This was for safety reasons. This regulation was in place from the ’50s through 1982 on passenger cars, and much more recent on commercial vehicles. In 1982, Japanese cars started moving to A pillar mirrors in search of better aerodynamics for fuel economy reasons. It took another year for all the models to adopt the newer style.
Check out some of the changes here: http://db.tokyo-motorshow.com/cgi-bin/car_history/form_en.html

Hope that sheds some light on the subject.

You know were naive to think that American muscle are the only true classic performance cars. I’d love to go for a drive in more than half of these cars. The older Z cars and skylines looks bad ass.

I never got why they put the rear view mirrors way out on the fenders. It looks really ridiculous and reduces the viewing angle of the mirrors to a sliver.
I like the Skyline, but only the recent skyline. Most old Jap cars have a severe styling deficit with few exceptions, that is unless you covet shoe boxes with poorly-mounted mirrors.
