This is a 1959 Daihatsu Midget DKA. I live in Traverse City, Michigan. 3 blocks from Hagerty HQ.  It was a frame up restoration. Was stored in a barn in the UP of Michigan since 1962. I travel through Japan looking for the few parts I needed. With luck I found a gentleman in Hida Japan with one he restored 30 years ago. ( It was parked next to his Toyota 2000 GT ). Didn't have parts to sell but let me measure his to make my own. I found another one in a museum in Kyoto. I learned they are very rare. Fortunately mine was 98% there. Just needed a bit of tin knocking and some paint. Still looking for a few part if anyone knows of any.   First day Hida Japan Tear Down   Off to the Chromer $$$     New Engine Cover Starting to put it back together Are we there yet?     Almost done                    ...
