Hachi-rokus.

Hakosukas.

Mangos.

If those nicknames conjure up images of classic Japanese machines, then you were in the right place, this year’s Japanese Classic Car Show. It was held September 23, once again within sight of the Queen Mary in Long Beach, California.

Want to see even more from the show. We posted photos on Instagram, too.

1972 Nissan Skyline GT.

510 wagons? Yes, please.

1967 Datsun PL411 Bluebird wagon, too.

There were a lot of Z-cars present, but this is a genuine Japanese-market Fairlady, complete with the original 2.0-liter, cylinder engine.

Nissan also showed off a Datsun 240Z prepped for land-speed racing by a group of employees back in 1976.

The land-speed Hardbody also came from the Nissan collection.

Mazda showed off their 767B plus a pair of Cosmos.
