Cony 360 Wide

Cony cars were built by the Aichi Machine Industry Company in Nagoya. The company was founded in 1943 and in 1965 it became part of the Nissan group. Aichi is still operating today, building the Nissan Serena mini-bus. Cony's speciality was building micro-cars with 2 cylinder engines below 360cc. The under 360cc class in Japan was taxed at a very low rate, making the cars very inexpensive. So the Cony cars took every possible shape, from the sedan to the pick-up, including the break.

For the record, this was their biggest car. They had pick-ups much smaller than this one.

Vespa is part of Piaggio.
And yes, they still make them.
Sometimes you see them here drive around, mostly as commercial-cars with some companys slogan on it, as it's a quite eye-catching car (despites its little size)

Wow! Very cute and increasingly rare minivan.
Hope to see more photos and hopefully of a restoration.
That was a nice gift!
