Default Happy International Model A Day... From Japan

Hello, I might be the only person here in Japan even thinking about Model A Day, so I will share what I was surprised to discover. At the Edo Tokyo Museum there is a 30/31 Model A Fordor decorated as a taxi, and a period ad. When I saw it from a distance I had to see if it really was and made a beeline for it.

Bonus: I even came across one at Tokyo Disney Sea, though it is only for decoration and probably has no engine, etc. It definitely does not have brake rods, nor shocks if I remember right.

That's pretty cool. Like the idea Japan enjoys the cars also!
