    Yeah, that takes me back. If I recall there was a Datsun and a Ford Courier too back then, all with similar styling.

    Awesome! Thanks for sharing! My dad had a 1975 Toyota pickup, when we were growing up. It was green, so I had to go with Spruce Mica as tribute. :D

    You are right, I forgot about the Chevy LUV. At first I was thinking the Courier was made by Isuzu, but it was probably Mazda instead.
