If you are (un)lucky enough to have this Toyota Crown Comfort appear when you hail a cab in Japan, fear not. It’s not a death cab, but a promotional taxi by the Lucky Taxi company in Nagasaki Prefecture. Each year they dress up a car like this for the month of October. The skeleton in the passenger seat is named Fukuichi, after Lucky Taxi’s founder, Fukuichi Fukuda. Fukuda has a saying that those of us who have given their life to our automobiles can understand, and which takes on a somewhat ominous meaning on All Hallows’ Eve: “It all started with cars, and it all ends with cars.” Happy Halloween from JNC!
Awesome vehicle for a pub crawl.
