Nakano Yoshimishiro prototype

In 1947, Nakano Yoshimishiro founded the “Nakano Automobile Kogyo Company Limited” in the Japanese city of Nagoya. Since 1947, Nakano Yoshimishiro had been developing the prototype of a micro car and in the same way that other Japanese manufacturers of that time did, between 1950 and 1951, Nakano Yoshimishiro adapted his prototype to the standards and premises of the government in order to start marketing as soon as possible.

In 1952 Nakano Yoshimishiro reorganized the “Nakano Automobile Kogyo Company Limited” and renamed it the “Auto Sandal Motor Company”. The prototype became the Auto Sandal FN kei-car.
