 Almost not approved color in Japan. The pure red was reserved for fire vehicles.

 Curious anecdote, I did not know. Until what year did it last? It seems that at the end of the 50s the law was already relaxed

 Oh, it seems red prohibition was introduced 2 years later.

"In 1962, the Japanese government passed a law that would allow only a maximum of three companies in Japan to build cars and also prohibit the paint colors white and red, as these were to be reserved for vehicles for the police (in Japan white and black), rescue services and fire departments. Through in-depth articles in the Asahi Shimbun newspaper, Sōichirō Honda was finally able to obtain a repeal of this law".

Good on Mr. Honda to carry our automobile industry :king:
Too bad his company is now only known for SUVs, Minivans, and the Fit/Jazz... :(

 I find this coral / white combination especially attractive for this Corona, perfectly paired with those pretty hubcaps.
