Place: Tokyo

Country: Japan

FujiToshuda Motors Corporation was a Japanese automobile manufacturer based in Tokyo, active from 1957 to 1958. The company specialized in producing microcars, a segment that gained popularity in Japan during the post-war era due to economic constraints and limited road space.

The most notable model produced by FujiToshuda was the Fuji Cabin, a three-wheeled microcar characterized by its unique design. The vehicle was powered by a 123cc two-stroke engine, which generated 5.5 brake horsepower and allowed for a top speed of 37 miles per hour. Its distinctive shape resembled a mobile kidney bean, featuring an ultra-rounded two-seater coupe design made from fiberglass and a single front headlamp.

In total, only 85 units of the Fuji Cabin were manufactured, marking it as a rare example of Japanese automotive engineering from that period. The brief existence of FujiToshuda Motors Corporation reflected the challenges faced by small manufacturers in the competitive automotive market of the time.
