As the unveils at the Tokyo Motor Show enters its second day, the dearth of nostalgics and any reference to them continues.  We’ve seen cars that are soft to the touch and glow in the dark, ones that swivel 360 degrees with a R2-D2-like copilot, a rotary-powered landspeeder a futuristic COE battering ram and three retro bikes, but zero classic cars.  Well, there was one, but it was a Volvo.

So instead, we’ll just show you the Suzuki LC from the 2005 ToMoShow, a retro concept that hearkens back to the company’s first car, the 1955 Suzulight.  Check out the stubby bullet fender mirrors, the plaid-on-red upholstery and the whitewall tires, all in a package cute enough to be a Sanrio character.  Sadly, it never made it into production, but we want to love it and pet it and call it George.
