1963 Isuzu Bellett

1963 Isuzu Bellett
This is my aunt's first new car, a 1963 Isuzu Bellett. She had it only for one year, she tells me, as she wanted something sportier. She traded it in on a 1964 Isuzu Bellett GT of which no picture remains.

It is parked in the driveway (a rarity) of my grandparent's home in Tokyo, Setagaya Prefecture, Fukasawa 5-3. The house was only recently built in the mid-50s due to the war's aftermath.

kurashiki alley

kurashiki alley, a photo by Ennui March on Flickr.

Marvelous photography.......as though one was transported back to the 15th century, or in my case, 1963, when I was last here in Japan. I always found similar scenes that time had not changed. Great find and great shot.
