We test-drove this Mitsubishi van. I really liked the 5-in-the-tree, but my wife did not. Canada did not have stand-alone Mitsubishi dealers until the early 2000s. All Mitsus sold here until then we rebadged as Dodges or Plymouths. As Chrysler already had its own minivans, we didn't get these in Canada. I did see a very similar Mitsu van in the Minneapolis-St Paul area in '92 or '93 though, so I guess they were imported into the US.
Here's a beautiful '61 Impala in RH drive. The welded-chain steering wheel didn't do much for me though.
These Mitsu Delica Space Gear vans were very popular. I now see an occasional one here, but I sure thought they were strange-looking when I first spotted them in NZ. They look very unstable, and I did see a couple that had flipped over.
This is very similar to our '97 Mazda MPV. I love the rear spoiler, and am pleased to know that the van was "fostered robustly in the U.S.A."
Another odd duck (by Canadian standards). Most RX-3s were 2-door hatchbacks. I don't recall ever seeing a 4-door sedan here. This body style was available here as a Mazda 808, with a conventional piston engine.
Here's a rather staid Studebaker, apparently used as a daily driver.
These old LandCruisers sell for a fortune here in this condition. I don't think I've ever seen the pick-up truck version in Canada.
Here's a fairly ancient Valiant. This basic body style was used here for the '67 through '76 model years. I'd put this one at the early end of that.
