Ever wanted to sit and watch an hour or two of old-school car commercials from Japan? Apparently, you aren’t alone, as we came across this video that is just that: two full hours of Japanese car commercials from 1975-’85.
What is your favorite commercial in the video? Any models you recognize?

Good stuff.

Interesting to see ads for several models or just body styles not offered in the U.S.
It does make you a bit curious, too, as to how well the home market received some models (like that Mazda Cosmo that looked a lot like a Monza Town Coupe) or the Corolla Sprinters with "bug eyed" headlight scoops.

You mean the RX-5 Cosmo? JG had one of those BITA. Yeah, cool seeing ads for cars we don't/didn't often see.
