1963 Mitsubishi Colt

To complement the 600, a larger compact car was introduced in 1963, the Colt 1000. The Colt of 1963 was in its second year, the Colt 600 small family car with the 594 cc air cooled twin engine, produced by Mitsubishi's regional subsidiaries of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Colt was also used as a marque from 1974 to 1984 by the Colt Car Company to market Mitsubishi vehicles in the United Kingdom. Chrysler, Mitsubishi's longtime partner, also used the Colt name for the Dodge and Plymouth Colt captive imports for the North American market between 1970 and 1994.
