ISHII, Tokushima Prefecture Taking everyone along for a trip down memory lane, a 1930 Chevrolet sedan barreling down the roads here is a rare sight in Japan.
The vintage U.S. automobile, dating to the days of Bonnie and Clyde and the U.S. Prohibition era, has got a new lease on life, thanks to the hard work of mechanic Kazutoyo Motoki.
Motoki, 68, has brought about 20 old vehicles back to life, but it was the first time for him to restore an automobile 90 years old.
“I had reservations because it was my first time working on a prewar model, but it was no more difficult than I expected,” he said. “It was in good condition because it had been stored indoors. Otherwise, it would have been too much to handle.”
