r000 The Subaru 19XX 360 Make Sambar is Model Japan’s first “kei” class truck, a vehicle that<br />

estimate: $000 000 - $000 000<br />

was designed for commercial delivery yet fit into the kei displacement<br />

offered without reserve<br />

and size tax guidelines. Two body styles, a microvan and a pickup, were<br />

produced. The name Sambar comes from a deer found in India that is<br />

commonly used to carry small loads.<br />

Introduced at the Tokyo show in 1960, the Sambar entered production<br />

in 1961, and the first generation ran for five years. It was based on<br />

the rear-engine, rear-wheel drive Subaru 360 platform, which utilized<br />

torsion-bar trailing arms. Engine access was via a hatch over the motor.<br />

The body had doors hinged on the same pillar, giving doors that opened<br />

in two directions.<br />

The 1966 second series Sambar featured a crisp, attractive, modern<br />

design. It continued to use the 360 platform, which had been upgraded<br />

continuously over the years. The van got an optional raised roof, and<br />

from 1970, the front doors were conventionally hinged, and the engine<br />

could be accessed from outside the vehicle. It was built until 1973, but<br />

it continued on for several more generations.<br />
