Toyota Museum in Japan: The stage is as big as the heart (picture appreciation) (1)

In 20 12, Toyota celebrated its 75th birthday. Time flies. In a blink of an eye, another decade has passed, and its 85th birthday is within reach. Two years later, Toyota may show all the cars that can't be seen on weekdays, just like the 75th anniversary celebration. This is a rare opportunity.

Many stories in the Toyota Motor Museum have little to do with Toyota. I think this is a question of mentality and tolerance. Inclusiveness has always been the inheritance of oriental culture, and the world will be owned by the heart of the world. A large part of this huge automobile museum is devoted to the global automobile history, not just the history of Toyota and its cars.

In fact, I was lucky enough to visit the museum during the special exhibition of Toyota's 75th anniversary. There were more Toyota cars on display than usual. In general, hybrid vehicles are more popular in the international automobile history. I didn't accept mixing at first, and I didn't accept this setting. However, with the tense environmental situation and Toyota's gradual departure from the island country, hybrid has become Toyota's global business card, and it is natural to be respected.

During your visit, you will always ask yourself why companies like Toyota spend so much energy, time and money to buy and display cars of other brands, even many of their direct competitors. The answer may be simple. Toyota may not create a museum to promote its brand, but celebrate and share its history and love for the car itself.

Of course, Toyota cars with a long history are certainly part of the exhibition, but they are only part of this grand goal. As a result, the Toyota Motor Museum also includes British sports cars, American classic cars, horse-drawn carriages and Japanese old compact cars in the 1960s, and enjoys a space here.

You can easily judge the creativity of human intelligence at the beginning of the birth of the car, which is limited by technology, manpower, material resources and purchasing power. The original car must be designed to look like it at first sight. However, I finally saw the origin of the car. When I saw the origin of all cars, I was impressed not only by human wisdom, but by the fact that this museum can collect such a complete collection, which should be the first in the world.

Representing the origin of the automobile is the replica of 1886 Mercedes-Benz patented motorcycle. This three-wheeled car is considered as the first gasoline-powered car in the world. With the accelerator, the speed can reach 15 kilometers per hour.

German origin, American development, Ford model T can never be absent from the heavyweight automobile history museum, a 1909 Ford model T. At present, Model T is considered to be one of the first truly mass-produced cars in the world. Ford sold more than150,000 cars before its production ended in 1927.

In addition to mass-produced iconic models, the museum also collects many more luxurious and expensive machines of that era, such as a Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost 19 10, all of which are amazing in gold-plated decoration.

Since then, with the progress of time and technology, the progress of the automobile industry has gradually expanded, and human beings have begun to have more imaginations about cars, such as 1926 Bugatti 35B sports car.

A 1929 Duesenberg model from the United States is equipped with the most advanced double overhead cam straight eight engine and the iconic large-capacity body.

The vehicles on display continue to follow the historical era. Streamlined body design and more powerful engines have been successful in the mass market, and at the same time, those models specially built for the rich and celebrities have begun to be born.

These collections include a 1939 packard XII, which was once President Roosevelt's car, equipped with tank-like armor and bulletproof glass.

Behind the luxury, the replica of Volkswagen Beetle 1938 represents a gentle, economical, practical but equally classic tradition, which is even as important as Ford Model T. ..

When the world entered turmoil, the functions of cars changed, from speed, movement, luxury and size to Gobi, rugged and muddy. In this era, an equally important car brand Jeep was born. The Toyota Museum displays the model built by Ford in 1943. Jeep is the best example in history, which decentralized wartime technology to the consumer market.

After the war, both the United States and Germany ushered in the automobile revolution, and the shape and design began to change dramatically. Of course, only those old men who are full of emotion and dying are more affectionate and familiar. Standing in front of such a car, young people no longer feel the society behind the car, but only pay attention to the car itself, such as this 195 1 year Porsche 356 sports car.

1955 Mercedes-benz 300 SL coupe, with gorgeous body and gull-wing door, took the lead in adopting direct injection technology.

Elvis Presley's car is a bit exaggerated, but this Cadillac El dorado biarritz 1959 represents the height of American luxury car design in the 1950s.

The global society and the United States present different faces. In the 1960s, Britain began to produce surprisingly beautiful cars. Among them, the streamline makes us realize that the aesthetics honed by this established power in years of aristocratic life are beyond the reach of the upstarts who came from behind, such as Jaguar E-sports car 1965, which represents modern aesthetics.

After the 1960s, Japan finally got a license to produce cars, so after the 1960s, the number of Japanese cars began to increase. After all, this is the automobile museum in Japan, and Japanese cars account for a large proportion. Japan's time from start to glory is very fast. It started in the 1960s and achieved great success in the 1980s. During this period, they launched countless models, and the cars updated and iterated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This series includes not only some of the most famous and best-selling models in Japan at that time, but also many relatively unknown but historic models in this country.

Cars like "Tsukuba -go" made by jedosha Seizo in Tokyo in 1935 are considered as one of the earliest cars in Japan. Only 130 cars were produced in three years.

Tsukuba was followed by a car like datsun 16, the first mass-produced car in Japan, which was produced on the belt conveyor assembly line in the mid-1930s.

Some of these cars are unheard of, including the 1955 Feiyu of Sumino Engineering Company. Two-cylinder power plant, bicycle tires and flying feathers are all designed for maximum economy.

Even weirder is the Fuji 5A car, which is also a product of 1955. This lovely car is basically a single body mounted on the chassis of a tricycle.

PA62 is called model, which is the result of cooperation between Hino of Japan and Renault of France in 1950s and 1960s.

Subaru 360 is one of the first truly iconic and most successful mini-cars in Japan, as can be seen from the model K11of 65438.

Mazda's contribution to Japanese mini-car competition includes 196 1 year R360 coupe, its four-stroke cycle, automatic gearbox and modern body.

It can be seen that this series pays equal attention to family cars, such as B 10 Nissan Sunny (the direct competitor of Corolla).

There are some early Japanese sports cars.

Cars that represent this culture are like Honda S500 of 1964.

1963, a Sp3 10 datsun Fair sports car, painted in pure light blue in 1960s.

In addition, the appearance of 1969 Mazda Cosmo Sport is beyond doubt and is considered by many as one of the best classic models in Japan.

Little known is that the Bellet 1600GT 1966 of Isuzu is the first Japanese car named after GT.

The skyline is an outstanding work of Nissan, which represents the essence of the brand. It's a S54 2000 GT-B of 1967.

A little unexpected is that 1967 adds Subaru 1000 sedan, and its unconventional plane four-engine front-wheel drive layout. This car is rare in many classic car exhibition information and magazines.

Four valves, three carburetors and two cams: 1970 Mrs. Fell's name Z432 says it all. In terms of overall performance, this S30 is one of the hottest products in the group.

This car is directly parked next to a popular car of another era-a 197 1 Mitsubishi Colt galante GTO-MR, equipped with a powerful double overhead cam four-cylinder engine.

1975 Honda civic) CVCC is also one of the representative models. This is an extremely important model, which helped Honda embark on the road to global success in the 1970s when fuel was scarce.

Last but not least, this is a Mazda Eunos 1989 sports car. This is a modern classic, and this car is one of the youngest cars in the building, and it is also the best choice for non-Toyota cars in the Toyota Motor Museum.

The story of Toyota Museum is far from over (to be continued).
