While picking up my daughter from school today, I noticed an old jeep in the parking lot, but did not think much of it until I saw the tri-spoked Mitsubishi logo above the grill and did quite the double-take. Apparently a number of foreign companies were licensed to produce them after WW2.

      These had the same body style, but the engine is different than the American-made models of the same years. They have Mitsubishi Astron engines and another diesel model. Also, obviously, left hand drive.

      I used to love trolling the “tuners” back in the day by slapping a JDM sticker on my Cavalier after buying a part that came from Japan for a Toyota Cavalier.
