1st off, what a great find :2thumbs: , I still can't believe you found one so nice in a junkyard. Kudos for saving her!.

Secondly, though the 1874 was kinda funny :lol: , I actually found the picture with the sign and -> that said "CANS ->" funnier. I mean I know these old Japanese cars were criticized for being made out of old tin cans, but :lol2: :ohyeah:
