This film, which we stumbled upon at oldschool.co.nz seems to be a bit of Mazda propaganda from the early seventies.
Dig the kodachrome-style colour saturation of the film itself. Dig the wickedly spooky loungecore soundtrack. Dig the style of the Japanese ladies and the beefy beauty of the boxy Sylines Mazdas and Nissans. And dig especially waved-out, silky-styled ‘dos of the drivers. But the highlight for us is the hi-revving buzz of the Mazdas’ rotary engines.
Unusually, the voiceover is in a quiant version of American English. Great piece of oriental nostalgia.
