The Giugiaro-designed Isuzu 117 was so beautiful that when it debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in 1966, it won the Concours D’Elegance at the event, likely a first for a Japanese car. Today, November 7, is the day when we celebrate the beauty and elegance of the Isuzu 117. Or wait, is it January 17? Perhaps the 117 deserves two holidays per year!
In Australia, that would be 11th July – THREE holidays per year now! Lovely vehicle, always cherished it.
Why does no Japanese manufacturer have a car that good looking now? Can you imagine that body with an Acura badge on the nose? Now THAT would be something worth going into debt for.
