They even had a couple of Japanese machines. And one very special one. This 1967 Mazda Cosmo S Coupe Series I was the first mass produced car with a rotary engine (one litre).
How do rotary's sound? Bananas!: youtu.be/DWNSOC_svyk?t=12
Low shoulderline. Big ass overhang in the rear.

Its not all, but I will upload more this week when I gona have more time :)
Definitely one of the most pleasing and unexpected finds this year, along with the R100 at the same garage.
One of Mazda's unique offerings when they hit the American market were several car models that were equipped with their Wankel rotary engine, one of which was a compact pickup truck so equipped.
Ford Motor Company had a working relationship with Mazda of Japan, so Ford's compact Courier was re-badged Mazda B-Series truck. The Courier was equipped with a conventional piston engine, not a rotary.

This car was a couple of spots down from me in the paddock at Atlanta Motorsports Park. After talking to the owner, it had its rotary removed and replaced with a Chevy LS1 engine. Same good looking body, now with more power and reliability.
Mazda Roadpacer AP (1975) at the Mazda Classic - Automobil Museum Frey in Augsburg, Germany.
The Roadpacer was Mazda's unique attempt to enter the Japanese market of luxury sedans, rivaling the Toyota Century or Nissan President. The car was not developed by Mazda but an Australian Holden Premier with a Mazda 13B Wankel engine: engineless Holdens were shipped to Japan, where they were fitted with engines and transmissions and recieved luxurious equipment. However, sales were slow and only around 800 units sold, few of which remain today.

Segunda parada del reportaje fotográfico para el blog de Miguel Artime, Maikelnai's Blog, fotos que ilustraron este post y este otro.
A slightly better shot of the old Maz I saw the other week. In a different location this time, about a mile away.
This might look like a RX8 on steroids but in reality only the body is Mazda, the chassis comes from a 30 year old Range Rover
Found this parked at a repair shop in the West Side section of Stamford, Connecticut today. It was raining out and I didn't want to get my DSLR wet so I took this with my waterproof point and shoot. I have never seen one of these before in my life.
Good to see this one amongst the big Japanese saloons/estates and sports cars. Had a chat with the owner, he owns one or two others.
Reminded me the A-reg 3-door I had for a month or two - a nice car and I wish I'd kept it for longer.
