As well engineered as it was, there's no doubt that the the original 1960-1961 Plymouth Valiant was one of the weirdest looking automitve confection ls ever offered to the public. So what happened when the inevitable occured and Dodge wanted their version?
The answer is this 1960-1961 DODGE LANCER. Not the Japanese one, the more Americanized Lancer, the one with better-finished design than its Plymouth counterpart. It has one of the most interesting designs on that era with a sharply pointed front end that brings the hood, grille, and bright bumper to the same aggressive tip. And those distinct wraparound tailfins give this compact an extended profile. As one of the early-60's Virgil Exner design, it has endlessly fascinating design to look at, rather than just plain ugly.
Under its hood, there is sterling performance, which made it one if (if not) the best performing six-cylinder compacts around. Lancer powered by 145hp, one barrel, 225-cu.in. Slant-Six engine. Its hardy and torque filled engine.
Lancer only produced for two years and of course this Dodge Lancer is one of the unit that survive until now in Indonesia, a beautiful gem with artfull look behind our garage's door.

Audi's Original Off-Roader - this is the strange-looking, yet have intimidating looks, DKW MUNGA!
The word 'MUNGA' comes from the German phrase "Mehrzweck Universal Geländewagen mit Allradantrieb", which translated mean, multi purpose universal cross-country car with all-wheel drive. The small cross-country car came in three different variants, there are Munga 4, 6 and 8 respectively referred to the number of seats each model provided.
Munga first prototype was built in 1955, and production of Munga was built in 1955 and the production of the Munga began a year later, supplying the West German Bundeswehr (Army) as well as several civilian organizations such as the forest service and many fire brigades and agricultural operations. It was also a favoured vehicle used by the West German Border Guards during the Cold War, who used it to monitor their side of the Berlin Wall, whilst their East German contemporaries on the other side were using Trabant Kubels.
The Munga's simple and rugged design made it quite popular. German production lasted from 1956 to December 1968 with the roll of the light utility vehicle eventually being taken over by the Mercedes G-Wagon in 1979.
In Indonesia itself this Munga never imported officialy, around 1958, Indonesian armed forces were selecting light combat vehicles to replace the leftover jeep from ducth military. At that time ABRI was carrying out a series test to choose the most suitable Jeep for ABRI. There were five jeep participating, GAZ 69, Land Rover series II, Austin Gipsy, Styr Puch Halflinger and this DKW Munga. As a result, there are some Munga live the rest of its life in Indonesia until now, include this one.

The Vespa is Piaggio's timeless classic. On the frame : Two beautiful Vespa Sprint Veloce (VLB) and Vespa Super (VBC).
Although they look the same from the distance, this two popular varian of Vespa in Indonesia have many differences. There are at least five basic differences between Vespa Sprint and Super in Indonesia.
The most basic differences you can see clearly is in the size of the wheels, Vespa Sprint uses 10' ring and Vespa Super uses 8' ring. Larger wheel on the Sprint makes the bike more stable on the road. The second differences can be checked through the design of the engine cover grilles. In indonesia this component called 'Tepong'. Specifically for the Vespa Super, there are five 'tepong' grilles, while the Sprint has six. This grilles located on the right engine cover since there's engine under it.
The third difference is on the engine, although the displacement was the same two-stroke 150cc, the size of the carburetor was different, Sprint using larger carburator. Sprint designed to have a good performance than Super, it has three port motor type engine when Super using two port motor type engine. And the last, the most obvious differentiators can be seen in their headlamp rounded shells of the Sprint and Super. For round-shelled Sprint the size is very large and theres a jade/gem stone-like small lamp between the speedometer and the headlight cover. On the other side Vespa Super shell is round, the size is mall and theres no jade/gem stone like small lamp.
Though manufacturer Piaggio has released many different variants over the years, Vespa Super and Vespa Sprint has its own place in the hearts of Indonesian people.

"Kein Schalten Nur Fahren"
as it's said on the brochure when this motorcycle came out, its means "no shifting just driving. Yes you are right, this 1954 motorcycle can be described as the ancestor of all today's automatic scooters.
The selling point of this DKW Hobby is not only their automatic transmission, 16-inch wheels to ensure greater driving safety and high ground clearance, a swingarm wich also adopted in motorcycles a little later and the special 74cc fan-cooled two-stroke engine, which develops almost 3hp was an incredible innovation on that time.
The automatic transmission itself (which was previously known only available at american luxury cars) is a continuously variable V-belt disc conversion transmissions (Uher), sounds like modern scooter transmission right?.
On the handlebar, instead of clutch lever, there is 'release lever' that enable the belt transmission to idle for stopping the bike and what makes this cool is the release lever may only be operated at a speed below 5 km/h.
You may think this scooter has ignition key to turn the engine on, but the engine of DKW Hobby is started by hand to be precise is by pulling out a cable on the left side of the fairing instead of the kickstarter. Yes its similuar to lawnmower but the difference is this hobby is cuter and can take you to the near coffeshop with style.

Touring, rather than street racing, became the natural category for this Suzuki's triples as they bristled with mod cons and big engine with so many fins, making them bulky. One of our collection, this is the final model of Suzuki "Sanpachi" released in the 1978, Suzuki GT380 C in beautiful Gypsy Candy Red color.
First seen in 1971, this GT380 showed much promise, on paper at least. Bike magazine in 1976 lauded the GT for having a "vast acreage of usable power, spread from anything over three grand right to the red line".
One thing that interesting from this bike, there's a plate with "RAM Air System" term that you can see attached on the side of the engine. This system is corporate air cooled system engine applied for the first time on Suzuki GT series. This system helped to force cool air through the cylinder and behind the block. The air-cooled engine actually really s simply as air scoop with ducts.
Touring across one city to another or riding for a long periods if time wouldn't be a problem after the GT introduced the Ram Air System, it was an innovation to two-stroke engine that is known to overheat easily. In a matter of no time, GT380 was a hit and received all the the publicity it deserved. Suzuki took it as a good things and presented seven GT380 models along its production years.
This GT powered by 371cc Air-cooled Transverse Three Cylinder-Two stroke engine. It mated with 6-speed manual transmission. With the help of three 24mm Mikuni Carburetors to passes the mixture of fuel and air, this bike can pulled out 38Hp max power and 38nm max torque. Since this bike quite heavy (171kg) it can reach 153km/h top speed patiently. The powerband of this two stroke engine was nearly as wide as the rev range, the clutch was easily controlled and the shift were quick and precise. The sixth gear of this bike was a cruising gear, good for long flat stretches and when rider needed more power in hands the fifth worked well with not much extra fuel consumption.
The GT380 looked and performed well as a touring machine on its era.

Another Honda SuperCub C70 laying behind our garage's door, the more aesthetic one, this is C70 'Pispot'!
It's called Pispot in Indonesia because of it's seat design looks like a bedpan, yes you aren't wrong, its name obtained by a receptacle used for toileting.
Indonesia...no, even Southeast Asia has lasting love affair with Honda SuperCub series. In 1958, when Soichiro Honda designed the first 49cc SuperCub, he told his colleagues "this is a bike that a soba noodle delivery man can ride with one hand and a stack of noodle's trays balanced on his shoulders". In the next six decades, Honda has gone on to sell more than 100 million units. Today, Honda SuperCub models remain popular in manya cosmopolitan cities across Southeast Asia, this iconic bike fits far more than a noodle shop delivery boy.
"by changing the engine oil regularly, it can run for decades", this super-quality bike made in japan is an asset transfer from one generation to another. Compact, sturdy, durable and the most important is it's affordable! this clutchless bike is a bike designed for everyone. Both young and old can take one the cub. It also versatile-lightweight yet rugged for unpaved, rough road. It also boast unbeatable reliability. Many 30-and 40-year-old Cubs are still running today as an express way to ge to a coffeshop.
Certainly, Fujisawa and Honda wanted to see the SuperCub succe ed, and undoubtedly worked very hard to give it every possible chance. Still no one could have predicted that it would become the most beloved motorbike in the world, nor thats its popularity and generational production would go on to outlive both men.
The legacy is literally a love story

Twin cylinder, dual exhaust, and coupled with dual Keihin Carburetors proved to be a popular design on its era, becoming the highest selling motorcycle in America story. Another beautiful collection in our garage, HONDA CB350 with Street Scramblers touch.
Therein lies the conception of arguably the greatest genre of motorcycle on planet earth : The Scramble. The Scramble's root lie across the ocean in old jolly England back in thale 1920's, where a bunch crazed englishmen began to dabble in a new form of motorcycle racing, one that took place far from the beaten path.
Instead of racing upon a specific route, they were tasked with simply making it from point A to point B ALIVE, in the shortest possible time, by any means necessary. Rumor has it the phrase "Scrambler" came from a British race announcer describing the act playing out before his eyes as 'quite a scramble'. Those brave (or insane) enough to accept the scramble challenge quickly found their everyday, stock, road-going motorcycle far from up to the challenge. Sliding, Bounding and tearing up-and-over the British countryside demanded something with much greater adventurous disposition. What these blokes did next was nothing short of necessity: modifying their street bikes into dirt, rock and hill devouring barbarians. The punch list went pretty much as follows: taller suspension, fender and exhaust pipes for clearance and some spoked and knobby tires to help put the power down.
It doesn't matter what you have, any road bike including this 36bhp CB350 has the potential to be a scrambler. It was born out of necessity for lighter, faster bikes that could handle themselves in rough conditions. It intermingles a stripped down, chunky and powerful aesthetic into something beautiful and raw. When the dust settled, the scrambler motorcycle was born.

The Mini was launched in 1959, and the cooper surname come about later. It comes with innovative engineering that have had a lasting effect on automotive design to this day. The engine was rotate 90degrees (transversed engine) which distributed the weight more evenly above the wheels and increased stability, Also, the wheels were moved to the extreme corners of the frame in order to make more room for passengers. These combinations of practical designs added benefit of improving handling which has led to Mini's reputation as an exceptionally nimble car.

One of the Classic Japanese Pioneer, This is DAIHATSU COMPAGNO BERLINA.
What was the first Japanese Car to be sold in UK? A Toyota perhaps? The Corona arrived in 1965, yes, but it wasn't the first. It must be a Datsun, then? Nope. We'll put you out of misery, it was The Compagno, from the independent little company called Daihatsu before it bought by Toyota.
This beautiful Berlina was developed in 1961 as an all-purpose machine to fit multiple body styles. The first prototypes appeared at the 1961 Tokyo Motor Show, with a design that took inspiration from Fiat 1800/2100. The prototype wasn't well balanced. The production model utilized a ladder-type chassis instead of a monocoque style.
It came with a four-cylinder 797cc engine that can pulled out 41 bhp. This power had decidedly little power for the car's weight of 775kg. Despite this, the car felt quite lively, the clutch was very light and the driving position itself was very good giving you amazing driving experience.
Beside sedan, The Compagno was also available as an estate (wagon) and as a cute spider convertible. As one of the first Daihatsu's creation at that time, The Compagno didn't see any huge success because of the heavy body based on commercial chassis.
Nevertheless, with it's Italian-inspired design and the ability that could seat four people, the car was clearly different from its rivals. Although it was sold for only three years, it still has many fans and now it became a hidden treasure that you may not see everyday.
The Compagno remains as an important Japanese Vehicle and set the standards for many other cars that came after it.
