When I lived in Japan in 1970/71 I had a 1965 (I think) Cedric 31 =
series. I think it had a pushrod engine, but I also thought it was a 6 =
cylinder. It was so long ago, but I seem to recall it was called either =
a special 6 or possibly a super 6. Could have been just Super or =
Special, w/4 cylinder engine. Manual transmission. I think it looked =
like this =

I bought it for about $600 when the yen was 360/dollar. I bought it with =
the possibility that it would be the sleeping accommodations for two at =
the World=E2=80=99s Fair, Expo 70. If we couldn=E2=80=99t find a better =

I remember taking it in to the dealer for a front end alignment. None of =
the people there spoke English and I didn=E2=80=99t speak Japanese. I =

the front end geometry. By this time about half a dozen folks from the =
service department were watching and commenting in Japanese. All of a =

good laugh was had by all.
