【中年と中古車☆レパード編】こちら港303、F31レパード、発車します！＃21

A blonde lady in a black off-the-shoulder dress. Bossa Nova-style background music. A car approaches from the distance with its lights on. "There are cars that you can't handle just because you're young." says a voice from heaven. Has there ever been such a wonderful catchphrase for middle-aged people? This is a nostalgic TV commercial for the Nissan Leopard. However, it was the TV drama "Abunai Deka" that made this car most famous. It's already familiar, isn't it? The call signs vary, such as "Minato 302" and "Minato 303," but I'm sure many middle-aged people were fascinated by the well-balanced story development. The model used in this drama is the second generation F31 Leopard (1986-1992). The era when Nissan was promoting "Feel the Beat" was very energetic. The exciting memories of the announcement of the concept car "MID4" at the Tokyo Motor Show also come to mind. The power unit used by the F31 Leopard was a 2-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine as an entry model, which eventually evolved to a 3-liter V6 turbo. The steering wheel center pad was equipped with switches for cruise control and radio operation, and digital meters were also available as an option, making it a model worthy of being called a personal coupe. After all, its rival was the Toyota Soarer. The shop we visited this time was Car Shop Friend, a specialty store that specializes in F31 Leopards. The representative, Mr. Kanazawa, was friendly and said, "The mechanics say that if the president touches it, it will break... (laughs)." But here, they do everything in-house, from sheet metal work to engine overhauls and dashboard restoration. They were truly a group of professionals, or rather, craftsmen. The opening scene was a little funny. They were just amateurs. That said, the middle-aged duo loves used cars and Miss Airi! If you could leave a comment on the YouTube comments section with the car models you would like me to cover or some words of encouragement, I would be very happy as a middle-aged man. Thank you very much.
