Friday Video: Japanese Demolition Derby Circa 1976

We have absolutely no idea where this video is from, what is going in it, and why it is happening. All we can say is that it’s from approximately 1976 and shows the senseless wreckage of many rare vintage Japanese cars, including what appears to be a MS51 Toyota Crown Coupe. Sadness. Bonus points to anyone who can identify all the cars in this chaotic clip.

    I’ve seen that kind of chaos before – it happens in my town every time Apple releases a new product. People go mad, rush to the outlets, and mayhem ensues. This was undoubtedly filmed during the 1977 product release of the Apple II.

    Pretty sure that is what happened when the Japanese government tried to outlaw Godzilla movies in the ’70s…
