    I thought these hubcaps were used on the Landau models only (as shown in my photo above), but I could be wrong.

    They probably came on both but I could be wrong also. I'll have to pay attention next time I watch The Streets of San Fransisco.

    I think this class of cars used to be known as "microcars," right? I wanna say I've seen this type of thing in the Gran Turismo series of video games...

    Yes, I recognized it immediately from my generation's "Ladybird Book of Motor Cars": The Gran Turismo series.

    Learned about many unknown cars in that game, especially these microcars which many times you had to start the game out with. My favorite is the Mazda AZ-1 and the Suzuki Cappuccino.

    I saw a bunch of them in Tokyo over the past few years of visiting there. Cute cars. If Miatas are considered 'chick cars' in the US imagine what this one would be called...

    Hey!!! Yes, send an EM when you get a chance. Lot's of catching up to do!

    Yeah, GTC seems to have lost its spark. I was thinking about going through it and finding everything that somehow slipped by unidentified, but I haven't had the time. Been very busy lately.
