Live Report
THE 36th TOKYO MOTOR SHOW 2002
Families are interested in ...
After having fun and entertained by the show, visitors went to different places for exploring another fun. There was a bunch of people at one corner of the Mazda Booth. Approaching as I was, I found that at the center was the camper version of the Mazda Bongo Truck sporting a brilliant green two-tone coloring scheme. Family groups and others were eagerly watching the vehicle, looking into the very details. A Mazda personnel told that the cargo space could be converted to a shower booth and/or bathroom if wanted. An attractive solution for active persons, isn't it? What is more, the company offers an opportunity to test drive the vehicle during the session period. If you are interested in doing so, come to the test drive reception desk at the Mazda Booth. Note that a prior application is required for the trial experience.

Mazda Classics at "Vintage Commercial Vehicles" Post
In addition to the "ordinary" exhibitions of each manufacturer, the 36th Tokyo Show offers several unique specialities. Among others, I strongly suggest that you should visit the "Vintage Commercial Vehicles" Post, where working cars in good old days are proudly exhibited. Twenty automobiles on stage are made between the 1920s and 1970s, including Mazda's rare models of the Rotary Pickup (1973) and the Type GB Tri-wheel Truck (1949). Some of the visitors involuntarily spoke out, "They remind me of old days!" with smiles on their faces. Yonger generations got interested in the historic cars they saw for the first time, while saying "They were actually working those days". Don't miss this unique exhibitions!

Other Interests at Special Posts
Children were very happy at the "Tomica" Play Corner and the "Working Vehicle Picture Books Exhibition". Taking off their shoes, kids had automotive fun time of their own. Other special posts provide "experience-by-yourselves" type attractions, including a unique earthquake experience where an artificial seismic activity was generated by a special vehicle designed for the purpose at Chiba Prefectural Corner, "Seat Belt Convincer" at the "Traffic Safety Promotion Corner" organized by the Cabinet Office, which offers an opportunity of a collision impact from behind at 6km/h (3.75mph). Making the use of the opportunities, why don't you get ready and convinced for "Daily Safety and Disaster Prevention"?
