These are all his beloved vehicles. He owns a whopping eight Showa-era three-wheeled trucks!

This time, we visited the garage of three-wheeled truck enthusiast Mr. Okada and he gave us a detailed explanation of his unique collection.

Mr. Okada's origins lie in the Daihatsu Midget he bought at the age of 19.

As a child, he longed for a three-wheeled truck after hearing stories about them from his father, and finally acquired his dream vehicle, but his father's reaction was, "This isn't it..."

While sharing such memories, we introduce the Mizushima, Daihatsu SKC7, Midget MP5, Orient, Kurogane, Mazda T600, Hopestar, and Giant.

Large-displacement single-cylinder, V-twin, and rare double-piston engines. Furthermore, even a Mazda T600 vacuum truck!

We interviewed the owners about the different structures and operating methods of each vehicle, their acquisition stories, and the ingenuity used to maintain them in working condition, all while standing in front of the actual vehicles. The video also includes scenes of engine starting and a passenger ride.

Even the scratches and dirt tell the history of the vehicle's work.

Enjoy the profound world of three-wheeled vehicles and Mr. Okada's boundless love for them in a garage surrounded by Showa-era tools.
