World’s Cutest Van Ride Along. 1970 Subaru 360 Braves the Freeway!

This is my 1970 Subaru 360 Van. Some call it a Subaru Bus. Later years were called Sambar. This is a Japanese “Kei“ class vehicle. These were imported into the USA by Malcom Bricklin in the late 1960’s. It’s about a foot longer than a Smart ForTwo (just under 10 ft). It weighs 1100 lbs. These were designed as work vans and trucks in Japan and have a surprising payload capacity of 800 lbs. Power comes from a 2-stroke, 2-cylinder 360cc engine. Oil and gas go in separate tanks and mix automatically. Top speed
