In this unique video from Larry Chen, we are taken on a whirlwind tour of the Toyota Museum in Nagoya, Japan. Now, brace yourself, because this is not your ordinary car museum. No, no, no. It's a celebration of car culture in all its glorious forms. Larry, our intrepid car photographer, takes us through a mesmerizing array of automotive wonders that will leave any car enthusiast weak at the knees.
First, Larry sets the stage by comparing the Toyota Museum to the legendary Henry Ford Museum in Michigan. Just like its American counterpart, this museum is a treasure trove of classic cars and automotive artifacts. But it's not just Toyotas on display here. Oh no, my friends. Larry shows us a stunning Mercedes 300 SL Gold Wing and a jaw-dropping Porsche 356, proving that this museum is a haven for all car lovers.
But it's the stock Model A that really catches Larry's eye. You see, he's seen countless modified versions of this iconic car, but never before has he laid eyes on one in its original, unadulterated form. It's a sight to behold, with its sleek lines and timeless design. And the fact that it was made in Yokohama, Japan, adds an extra layer of intrigue to this automotive gem.
As Larry continues his journey through the museum, he stumbles upon a Toyota Model AA, a true testament to the brand's early beginnings. This car, modeled after American cars of its time, showcases Toyota's ambition to create something truly remarkable. And let me tell you, they succeeded.
Now, let's not forget about Larry's appearance on Jay Leno's show. Blindfolded and at the mercy of Jay's mischievous car selection, Larry finds himself in a car with not two, but three headlights. Talk about a surprise! It turns out, he was sitting in a Tatra, a car he had never even heard of before. This just goes to show that even the most seasoned car photographers can be caught off guard.
But the surprises don't end there. Larry encounters the first generation Toyota Crown, complete with luxurious features and, believe it or not, a badge that proudly proclaims "Overdrive." It's a testament to the fact that car enthusiasts around the world share a love for unique features and badges, no matter where they come from.
And then, my dear friends, we come face to face with a pink Cadillac Eldorado. This behemoth of a car is a sight to behold, with its massive size and spaceship-like appearance. Larry can't help but imagine what it would be like to drive this beauty through the streets of Japan. It would certainly turn heads, that's for sure.
But it's not just the flashy cars that capture Larry's attention. He also finds himself drawn to the simple elegance of a 1955 car with bicycle wheels. Its lightweight design and minimalist features make it a true automotive work of art. Larry can't help but appreciate the craftsmanship and ingenuity that went into creating such a unique vehicle.
As Larry reaches his favorite part of the museum, he encounters a Honda N360 and a Datsun Fair Lady, both in pristine condition. These cars, with their impeccable interiors and flawless exteriors, are like a time capsule, transporting us back to a bygone era of automotive excellence. Larry is in awe of their beauty and can't help but imagine the incredible car photography shoots he could create with these stunning machines.
So, my fellow car enthusiasts, if you find yourself in Nagoya, Japan, do yourself a favor and visit the Toyota Museum. It's a haven for classic cars, a celebration of automotive art, and a testament to the enduring power of car culture. Larry Chen has shown us just a glimpse of the wonders that await, and trust me, it's an experience you won't want to miss.
