Reproduction of the Hi-So car style of those days

“Hi-So Car”, which was born in the 1980s during the bubble economy, stands for “high society car” and refers to cars for the upper class = luxury cars. The Toyota “Crown Royal Saloon” introduced here is a Hi-So car full of parts that will immerse you in a sense of nostalgia. We will take a look at its completed looks.

What are the standard dress-up details for a Hi-So car rider?

The “Hi-So Cars” that once caused a big boom were the three Toyota brothers “Mark II,” “Cresta,” and “Chaser,” which were sold in the 1980s and recorded a big hit, the “Crown” and “Soarer,” and the Nissan “Cedric” and “Gloria,” which were famous as representative examples of Hi-So cars. At the time, just being in a car was enough to make you popular. These cars symbolized the bubble period when the whole world was in a state of excitement.

There was a strong tendency for such high-society car drivers to dress up their cars and try to stand out from others. Looking back on the specifications of the time, aluminum wheel replacements and aero parts were a must. The fenders were fitted with chrome fender trim, and smoked tail covers, including blinkers, were the norm.

The interior was decorated with shiny objects and a gorgeous chandelier was also installed. Many car enthusiasts must remember those days of their youth as the days of their youth, when they would enjoy focusing their wits on how to create a cool and moody interior as a car to pick up women. ……

Made as a hobby of the car shop owner

The Toyota GS121 “Crown Royal Saloon” introduced here has an all-black body with gold parts, creating an unapproachable atmosphere, but the owner of this car is a woman named “Chie-chan. The owner of this car is a woman named “Chie-chan. I love Akina Nakamori! I love Akina Nakamori!” The age of the owner is left to your imagination.

A car dealer by profession, the high-souled car he built for his hobby has a finish that would make the owner, who knew it well back then, groan. The exterior is fitted with a three-piece aero kit consisting of front, side, and rear bumpers made by PITTURA, which is a standard item for high-society cars, and brass gold fender trims.

Also, the huge rear wing mounted on the trunk pays homage to motorsports. This type is called “Imusappane. Incidentally, the type that was extended and sprung upward was called the whale wing at the time, as if it were the tail of a whale.

FORTECS wheels with gold wire spokes were selected for the gorgeous atmosphere. Fortecs, which are rare nowadays, were a coveted part at the time for creating a high-class look and were called “dress-up” that stood out from the crowd.
