Subaru 360



Today, I saw a Subaru 360 near my house.

My father also had a Subaru 360 about 35 years ago, and I remember well that I played with the car when he's at work during my early childhood. My family really loved the car. :)

I'm not sure when I saw a Subaru 360 last time on the road. But, even at that time, I saw it from away. So, I didn't recognize the actual size of Subaru 360.
Today, it was about 2 or 3 meters and the car was parking. I was surprised realizing how small it is. It's like a Mini-Cooper, but actually in Japan Subaru 360 had a petname, a ladybug.

That reminded me of happy days with my father long long ago. :)
