I
made
a
stop
in
Nagoya
for
one
night
just
for
the
museum
(and
the
Toyota
factory
tour),
and
it
was
totally
worth
it.
Where
do
I
begin?
The
museum
has
an
amazing
assortment
of
interesting
cars
from
each
decade.
So
many
brands
and
models
are
represented
(see
pics).
Gull-wing
300SL?
Check.
Cosmo
Sport?
Yup.
Pink
Cadillac?
Yes.
An
Isetta?
Sure,
why
not.
It
even
has
a
Tucker!
The
museum
recently
opened
a
new
wing
that
houses
automobile-related
memorabilia
such
as
hood
ornaments,
posters,
and
models.
In
addition,
it
has
periodic
live
demos
of
the
cars.
The
environment
is
inviting,
welcoming
you
to
appreciate
and
enjoy
each
car.
Even
though
some,
if
not
most,
of
the
cars
are
worth
millions,
they
are
only
cordoned
off
with
low-slung
ropes.
Probably
unique
to
Japan:
Instead
of
intimidating
security
guards,
there
are
young
women
in
uniform
at
each
floor,
who
answer
questions,
unobtrusively
keep
an
eye
out
for
misbehaving
visitors,
and
gently
step
out
of
the
way
when
you
take
pictures.
Given
the
low
price
of
the
admission,
it’s
as
if
Toyota
is
running
the
museum
as
public
service,
to
share
their
passion
in
automobiles.
Great
job!
