Rare Japanese Microcar: 1961 Cony Guppy (AF8) - Aichi Kikai Kogyo 

did I just hear 1 cylinder with a independent suspension lmaoo those Japanese sure make unique cars I love these videos keep it up you da man Dan

I like that you find all these old kind of odd autos. :)

My dad's '74 Ford Maverick had a hand brake like that... Most American cars of the day had a hand brake pedal with a T-stick that you pulled to release it, but the Maverick had some features that came straight out of the 1950s

That's one weird little fishy! But that Alfa Romeo Giulia Sprint (GTA / GTA replica?) in the background, awesome! It's still great to see them there in Japan.

I have never seen or heard one of these before! Thanks for the unique share!

Thanks for public thats videos, i like japan cars. Im from mendoza argentina, sorry my english. Bye good luck!!!

Cutest name for a car ever!

Looks like someone made a pickup truck out of a golf cart.

the Bathurst 1000! Always a huge gathering of mates :D

What a great little find! I have to say that I agree 100% on the hand break thing.

Now, if only someone where to have a spare 13b laying around... Cherry blossom's are awesome by the way, I'd sell a few various children that live down my street to have one in my back yard, they look awesome.

That's a great find. Looks like it could've been the design inspiration for the Suzuki X-90! ;-)

I would have figured it had a 2cylinder but a 1...wow in my book that would be a "macro car"...Nice find in deed.

HAHA! l love the videos!! My Dad has the same problem in forgetting English living in Thailand. Keep them coming great car vids from a different perspective! :)

What a funky little car!!

Hi Dan thanks for sharing the cherry blossom, we have had a cherry blossom picnic ever since my friend and His wife came back from japan to live! My coltural day for Guernsey is " Liberation Day" May the 9th, we celabrate when the british troops liberated us from the Germans during World War ll,

Love your reviews mate don't worry about haters

sweet ride! the guppy would get all the chicks….and the 4th of july, america baby! beer, bbq, fireworks!

That is a neat little car. I suppose we have cultural days here, like Canada Day on july 1st. There is family day that usually falls on the third monday in february too.

lmaooo at the beginning , I love how you just show their comment , 0 fucks given

never heard of it but it looks cool and your videos are not boring amazing how people need to leave negative comments. Not saying he cat have his own opinion but what ever happened to the policy of if you have nothing nice to say say nothing at all. I could have my wording mixed up. but you know what I mean. most amusing though is those that complaint that a video was a waste of their time. thought they were never forced to watch it and no one forced them to stay to watch it all.

Have you noticed that the steering wheel bar is on the middle? Maybe it could be a cheaper way to make a left hand drive version, and that missing panel is for putting the speedometer and all the stuff on the left. About the hand brake; it's good for an automatic, but i struggle on my ford because is a manual so it's annoying while climbing a hill :\ Hmm... Local celebration, maybe independence day, we listen the good old local music, and we enjoy our local food, it's something everyone does every day, but that day feels special :)

Haha, that idiot calls you boring and this video has 80 likes and no dislikes! Great videos!

We have loads of cherry blossom tree's around our area when the wind blows the leaves off the tree's it's like pink and white snow .

Looks like it would be fun to drive :P

Physically I wouldn't be able to fit in this car. I guess even a midget would find it hard to get in. But it's a really nice car indeed. Now about the question. It's really hard to tell which day of the year is the cultral day for my country. I am from Bulgaria. I guess that would be the 3-rd of march - the national day of my country. I can also add the 1-st of march - Granny March (оr as we call it Baba Marta). Also the 6-th of may - st. George's day and also 24-th of may - the Saints Cyril and Methodius day (they were actually the creators of the cyrillic alphabet which is used by approximately 250 million people in the world). And again - thanks for the awesome video!

I love the Guppy! Ist time Ive ever seen one, and I know micros. Daniel, what brought you to Japan from Australia? Do you speak Japanese mostly ?

what a cool little car very odd looking tho what size engine is in it ??

I've never heard of the Cony before, much less the Guppy. Cute looking car/ute. It looks too small for anything other than small garden tools and/or bags of mulch.

I want one of those cars,here what I would do with it,I would put in a bigger 350cc twin in it with a 5spd gearbox,lower the suspension,so on.I like how it is a small pick up.It sucks here in the USA for what ever the reason we do not have these micro cars and they really should have them available,if you notice the auto sales are for the rich,the poor are stuck with little or no transportation options,these micro cars could change that

4th of July! Also, Thanksgiving. USA! USA! :)

I used yr vid as a source on my cony guppy article

Oh, I love these. But, I've seen at least three that don't have suicide doors, which I find strange because it looks original. Heck, I don't even think I've seen one with suicide doors,haha.

As a cultural day yes Australia Day is great but Anzac Day is the one I like the most and I feel represents Australia - mates fighting together, supporting each other, live together, shed blood together, die together. I don't believe the importance of remembering the sacrifice made by servicemen & women is emphasised enough particularly in schools (and now we have the PC police saying we can't celebrate it because we may offend some minorities). Otherwise great vid Daniel, enjoyed seeing the Grandpa Mighty Boy. :D

4645 all hand made and in about 2 or y ear period that is impressive impressive how many were made. than add in they were hand made. and than on top of that in only 2 or 3 years. gee yeah I say that impressive even if they are tiny

is the van the serena?

strange little car, would be awesome with a motorbike engine in it, lol, lovely cherry blossoms Dan, we've got the same one in our front garden, a pink double flowering cherry blossom, i've also just started a cherry blossom Bonsai tree, :) QOTD, i don't celebrate anything from our culture, the UK has a strange culture, mostly people getting very drunk and making an ass of themselves or fighting, lol. great video Dan, keep up the good work :)

Okie, thanx.. If u noe someone who can import for me.. Just inform me dude..

I'm guessing Guppies are made of fiberglass? Culture Day is the US...well, today was opening day for baseball..and then there's the Fourth Of July and Thanksgiving...pick one, Daniel! lol

Nice little microcar! Now are those wheels originals because they really look like the tiniest SSR Mk I rims I've ever seen and that makes the car even more awesome. ;) Dunno if any fellow Dutchmen already mentioned it, but my favorite cultural day is Queensday (or Kingsday as it will be starting from this year onwards as we have a king now) where we celebrate our royal family. Originally initiated by queen Wilhelmina to boost the PR of the royal family (her father was an exhibitionist and not a very likable king) but throughout the years it kind of became anarchy day. People just get drunk, wear silly orange clothes, do your own garage sale and every city in Holland gets transformed into one big rock festival. Of course the aftermath is a big mess to clean up, like in this photo: static2.parool.nl/static/FOTO/pe/16/2/9/media_xl_158799.jpg

Hey, I Dhinesh form malaysian.. I wanna buy Nissan r30 rear lights.. Hw much it will cost in us dollars.?? Can u guys help me with that.???

Australia Day :P ur from Brisbane?

I want one

Did the Guppy borrow the wheels from a lawn mower? :-)

golf cart wheels ftw

Being 100% Mexican you would think its Cinco de Mayo (May 5th) but its not so. In my family its Thanksgiving for the most part. I dont get it but haha hey I love my Family. On a side not very impressive for that littil car. I did not know they had IRS way back then.

Crazy small it would look crazy for me to drive that ride im sixfour two fifty i can make it go one hundred and ten downhill ha

Automatic transmission(!) If they'd used the Hydramatic, it would have doubled the car's weight.(for that suspension..) The Midsummer celebration is a big deal in Finland.

Who's the poor guy that drives that car LOL. Oh and 5 de mayo even though I I don't really celebrate it

AFL Grand Final Day

Needs to be moar wide .

A Cultural day? huh... We don't have very many in the US! At least any that I am aware of~ :\

Is the body metal or fiberglass? Cultural.... hmmm.... is going to the my country's Independence day parades count? hehe

Hai Wasabi! How did you find it! amazing!! of couse I know Aichi kikai, I saw them many times at Nissan fieldday festival at Mitusawa stadium Yokohama. ( ^ ^ ) Actyally I didn't know cony, it's very minor car in Okinawa in those days. I often saw Mazuda therrwheeler 1500truck. and Daihatu & Mazuda mini therrhweeler trucks.. ( ^ ^ ) Oh!..do you think How old is he? Well,, I seen Hino contessa's CM and,, National kids、and 8man on TV.. 　( ^ ^, ) I'm monocolerTV's age. Yey! When I was junior high school student I wont to get super cool new car 510SSS in those days! and I try Nissan Moters! Thanks Wasabi!!! every time nice video.

Awesome little ute! Cultural day? I'm in the UK, we are not allowed to celebrate our culture because it might offend some Muslims living here... Sadly I'm not joking!
