An old Toyota that I suspect is not running its original engine.

Parked by a nicely patina’d Willys.

And Oppo represents at the Pollen Grains.

This is art. Fun note: the earliest Land Cruiser sixes are so similar to GM ones (*cough, copies*) that a good number of parts actually interchange.

Last summer my parents’ garage worked on one that was 327 “Turbo-fire” powered.

Such good copies they were actually license built.

I didn’t know if there were approved shenanigans or shenanigans of a more questionable nature. I only knew shenanigans of that kind were afoot. There was something similar and less aboveboard that took place during WWII that, I think, was more or less Chevy no-longer-authorized copies being put in copies of some other US brand’s trucks - I don’t remember the details but I read about it.

No, land cruisers came about after the war. Toyota change the specs to metric and that's about it.

I understand Land Cruisers came about after the war. That wasn’t what I was talking about at all - I’m not a fool. I mean that there was another instance of Chevy (I think, it’s been a while) engines being made by the Japanese back during the war, and stuffed in another truck they’d been license-building. On looking into it, I think it was Nissan’s copy of a Graham-Paige truck.

Could be, the automakers were getting money from both sides anyway.

HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles > leicester 04/21/2015 at 19:11
