Jnglmpera ◊ 2021-10-19 15:47	Carry weight 1-ton per script, so wouldn't that indicate AA-13 instead of the 15, which has only 750kg carry weight? (per s13a's link) Another rear angle, this time showing what a famous Akiba crossing looked like before it became the Otaku district... -- Last edit: 2021-10-19 18:13:33
s13a ◊ 2021-10-19 23:11	The brochures (1957/1958) show that the only model with such specific front (slanted front/upright badge) is the AA-15 : The AA-13 looks different (more traditionally looking) : AA-15 / AA-13 comparison Looking at the thumbs, the length of the bed looks exactly the same as in previous shown catalogue. But there is another catalogue (probably an earlier one, since it lacks doors) in which the AA-15 is shown with a slightly different bed (a tiny bit smaller, perhaps?), however it doesn't have the ¨FA¨ suffix which I don't know what it stands for : Maybe the brochures show something incorrect or maybe I'm just clueless
Gongora ◊ 2021-10-20 00:22	Probably the "FA" is an evolution with doors
