Cars

Fuji, one of Japan’s industrial giants, began to make Rabbit motor scooters in 1956. (Be sure to look for one in the motorcycle wing.) Two years later they launched their first car –the Subaru 360.

The name “Subaru” is Japanese for the Pleiades which are the six stars in the Taurus constellation. The six stars of the Subaru logo represent the six companies which make up Fuji Industries.

The Alto is a kei-class car that was introduced in 1979. This third-generation Alto is a special edition by i.e. Works, with a SOHC turbo-charged F5B engine and four-wheel drive.

In 1952, handicapped Russian veterans of World War II (or the “Great Patriotic War” as it was 
called in the USSR) received their long overdue motorized transportation in the form of an open three-wheeler, the SL1.

Hans Ledwinka was one of the most original and logical thinkers ever to work in the motor industry. He believed the automobile was destined to become an object of everyday use to modern man. His creations in such varied areas as engine design, frame and structures, suspension systems, and aerodynamics attracted worldwide attention.

Developed with the intent to offer a commercial vehicle with as low cost as possible, Tatra introduced the three-wheeled T-49 in 1930.

In 1931, Tatra introduced the T-57 model, with the air-cooled, four cylinder, overhead valve engine placed in front.  The T-57 was one of Tatra's most popular models – four series were produced.
