It was a hot one in Long Beach for the annual Japanese Classic Car Show at the Queen Mary. This year the show included several rare factory owned cars including a   Toyota 2000GT, a Mazda Cosmo, and even the first Honda car ever imported to the USA. As always there was a great mix of enthusiasts owned cars and trucks, I even got to look at an all original Ford Courier to help reference some things on our new shop truck project.
