Re: IML: Japanese old commercial film

[Yasushi Shiroi <bxn01303@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Christopher

I had never thought about the number of the headlights of the car until 
I read your message.
I didn't know why there were two kinds of 57 Imperial with the single 
light and with the dual light.
Is it because there was a rule every state in America?

This hotel is in Shizuoka Prefecture.
If you use the Superexpress, you can go from Tokyo within 2 hours.

> Fun commercial! It is a 1957 with the dual headlights (they also came with single headlights because not all states in the US had approved the new dual-lamp system). This must have been quite an usual car in Japan at the time (even as American cars go).
