History
Hino Contessa 1300 Coupe
The Contessa Coupe showcased some of the most beautiful Japanese automotive design of the 1960s with pure Italian lines. Its pillarless hardtop construction and flowing roofline created an elegant silhouette. The rear-mounted engine provided good weight distribution for a compact sports coupe. Extreme rarity due to Hino's withdrawal from passenger cars makes these among the most sought-after Japanese classics by collectors who appreciate their unique history.
