So-called "zoku-sha" or "gang style" cars are not so common in Japan anymore; many people probably miss them. However, this uniquely Japanese modification culture and the old car boom have attracted attention overseas and become very popular. Inspired by this Japanese modification culture, Javier Bandera, a resident of Los Angeles in the United States, owns a Toyota Cressida. We asked him to introduce us to this highly finished car, which has been thoroughly pursued to look as it did in its day.

The "Sera" was launched by Toyota at the end of the bubble era, and although it was a mass-market car, it had glass-top butterfly doors ("gull wing" in the official catalog of the time) like a supercar. It was a model that radiated a futuristic and one-of-a-kind individuality. Mr. Mizuguchi, who has loved the Serra for many years and has driven approximately 30 of them, spent 10 years restoring the Ikebukuro "Amlux" limited edition car, which few people know about today, and recently completed the restoration. Here is the full story of the fantastic Serra.

The winner of the Best of Show award at WEKFEST JAPAN 2024, an event that originated in the United States, is Anna Sakamoto's 1998 Toyota Tacoma.

At the "Gunma Sonic" held at G Messe Gunma on July 6, 2024. About 200 GR86 & 86 & BRZ cars gathered at the "Gunma Sonic" held at G-Messe Gunma on July 6, 2012. We found a simple but very beautiful Toyota "86 GR SPORT" at the event. We interviewed the owner, Mr. Futatsuka.

The black body with emblems, aero, taillights, and overall appearance of the car is a perfect example of a family car. The Toyota "86" is entirely custom-coordinated in black, including the emblems, aero, and tail lights. The owner is a mother of two children who uses it as a family car. As proof of this, a child seat sits in the passenger seat.

About 200 cars gathered at "Gunma Sonic" held at G Messe Gunma. Among the 200 GR86, 86 & BRZ that gathered at the "Gunma Sonic" held at G-Messe Gunma, we would like to introduce the Toyota GR86, which was not too flashy, but had a special aura about it.

Toyota's representative "Crown" is currently in its 16th generation, but the first generation was launched in 1955, and the brand will celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2025. The 1964 Toyopet Crown seen at the Se-no-Moto Grand Prix 2024 was a non-restored car that still retains its original appearance. How did this car survive and why did the young Mr. Nishino come to own it?　We asked him about the story.
