I should be finishing up something else but I realized I have not posted anything since Wednesday… Well, that simply won’t do so here it goes…
I dived into the stack of random pictures I took and came up with this one which I think you might find to be interesting. This tiny “car/truck” is produced by Daihatsu and its model name, as proudly shown in the front of the vehicle is “Midget II”. Needless to say if they were to export this model to, say, the US, they might have to rebrand the vehicle (which would not be the first time of course). Car manufacturers, and I don’t mean just the Japanese ones, regularly use different names for models that would be sold in different regions of the world. It’s just I have never seen quite a name like this being used in any region.
It turns out there was a “Midget” as well – which was the original model. Wikipedia has a lot of information on the models with more pictures.
