q-tip Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Making me real jealous with all those deluxe center garnishes. Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Not necessarily deluxe. Here are all the various models and associated grills and tail lights. Most were just by year, only a few were model specific - except for maybe the badge (GL, vs DeLuxe, vs SSS for instance) 1 Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted November 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Here's a list of just the SSS stuff I found on the internets And the corresponding Emperor Hirohito Showa decoder chart 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 I wasn't aware that those tails we're on that many models, I thought it was just the deluxe and Mexican market cars that got those, good too know. Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 No kidding! I see it is a 1600DX vs my 1400DX. The Ad says it has a 4spd on the column. Did they do that? I wonder if the 1600 version still had front drums like the 1300 and 1400 cars. They swapped for SSS mirrors and he's running a '71 grill and of course nice carbs but otherwise, pretty close. That nice fresh paint sure looks good next to Granny. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted December 1, 2017 Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 Granny still looks good, maybe not so much with the now needed face transplant. Quote Link to comment
carterb Posted December 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2017 That was taken just before her face was unceremoniously rearranged. --carter Quote Link to comment

carterb Posted December 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 14, 2017 Nice buy carter! Oh man the fees!!! I can't believe how much they charge in Japan to move a car around. It's about $2,000 just to get this thing to port. Not the US port - the outgoing port in Japan! Quote Link to comment
