1966 Subaru 360

Sales of the Subaru 450 in Japan was discontinued in 1966, due to poor sales. The Subaru 360 continued as the cheaper kei car, with the 356 cc two stroke engine, a monocoque body and swing axle rear suspension. It was the ninth year of production of the rear engined city car, one of Japan's most popular cars. The Subaru 360 was designed in response to the Japanese government's light car or kei car regulations and its proposal for a larger national car.
