Remembering Japanese cars from the past
This Toyota Crown hardtop coupé MS75 (or MS70) is a photo on the back of a record sleeve. The record in question is Char’s 1978 album Thrill. By 1978 this Crown could only have been at most 7 years old as it’s the pre-facelift model!
Music from commercials always have been successful if the product caught on. This was especially the case for the Nissan Skyline in Japan: apparently there were many vinyl records, cassette tapes and CDs sold with the music of the Skyline commercials.
Kayou is a collector of these items and put pictures of them on Minkara:

And what would a collection be without the full Paul Newman cassette collection?

See here for some of the different Paul Newman commercials.
And let’s not forget the most important one:
Nissan Skyline Ken & Mary CD
Ken and Mary! You can find their commercials here.
I really envy Kayou: gems like this swap hands for loads of money on Auctions Yahoo nowadays…
