The Lancia Fulvia Tipo 818 is a classic Italian saloon available from 1964-1976 as a Berlina, Coupe, and Sport…and this isn’t one of them. This is a Mazda 1800 Luce built in Japan, but designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone Design Group. Today’s example is not the best shape example you can find, but beggars […]
This next car comes as a tip from JB1025 who writes: Just don’t see many of these from the mid 70’s too bad for the automatic but owner has a 5 speed to go for extra green $$$$$. Personally, I think it is funny how much these look like the similar vintage Isuzu I-Mark. Find this 1976 […]
The Mazda Luce isn’t just another random Japanese classic from the early 70s…because it was styled by Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone Design Group and looks more Lancia than Mazda. Unfortunately the car was a flop when it was new and only a few where imported and a smaller number have survived the rust over the […]
I’ve seen a variety of cars over the past few years.

Mazda’s early 1970s rotary lineup included the compact Familia based RX-3, the mid-sized Capella based RX-2, and the Luce RX-4 — which was supposed to be Mazda’s personal luxury coupe. Unfortunately the RX-4 didn’t sell well in the US because the personal luxury coupe buyer wanted a comfortable ride, an automatic transmission, and low end […]
Mazda’s rotary engine has always had too much of a reputation for boom-boom for this particular cylinder lover to ever go zoom-zoom, but that doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate a cool collectible when I see it. The LA2 generation Mazda Luce/RX-4 isn’t something you see every day, but it sorta resembles a 3/4 scale 1970.5 […]
