The most psychedelic car brochure ever created was for the 1968 Mazda 110S, otherwise known as the Cosmo Sport. The graphic artist was apparently Tadanori Yokoo before he moved into fine art. Sgt Pepper meets Top Gear. This is a keeper.

  • Excellent. Cheers
  • Gadzooks!
  • Cool. I want a car that goes "Whammoo"!
  • What Speed! What Power! What Thrust!
  • What power! what thrust! what bollocks!! I'm sure the grooovy graphics sold more cars than the turgid prose. Are any still in existance or are they all rusting in peace?
  • 4th posts in 2 days?
  • Yeah, but they were good ones- not poop ones. Er - oh. Still, one doesn't want to stem the tide of runs like these.
  • bluntly and basically, and quadrupicately! Quality stuff.
  • Far out, man.
  • 4th posts in 2 days? It's the fuckin' weekend, lighten up! Post away, post away! V-v-very nice! Thanks for posting this delicious find Chy. Makes me pine for my rotary-engine days long-gone... *sigh* I'm "digging" Yokoo's site as well. While I can't comment on this specific model, other Mazdas with rotary engines I've owned, and or driven, were some of the spunkiest I've experienced.
  • I want this car. I need this car. Why, oh why, don't I have this car? Who will get me this car? I will be happy forevermore as I ride off into the sunset in this car. *goes outside, mutters, morosely kicks battered station wagon, apologizes & begs it not to break down in vengeance*
  • It's the fuckin' weekend, lighten up! That doesn't sound very light. Guess you can't posit the accepted practices on weekends. Or, how about.. sorry for interrupting, continue!
  • Holy mackerel! =^_^=
  • Holy holy mackerel! I can't wait to see where this goes.
  • WHAMMOO!!
  • When I get a dog, I'm naming him Whammoo. Or maybe my first kid.
  • Wham! Moo ... we got cows. Look we're in outer space, now. That was absolutely beautiful!
  • Unholy Mackerel! (like the two I gutted last night, after going to see a film, then a fireforks display, then a few beers (Maybe I did more than just 'see' them). Gutting mackerel while tired and drunk removes all the holiness. They were delicious.
  • I wonder if it'll look better with 3-D glasses...
  • In next life, mackerel guts you.
  • Shamu, Namu, and WHAMMOO!
  • I bet it's no coincidence that the car is seen later in the brochure fraternizing with psychedelic cows, *especially* if it goes "WHAMMOO!"
  • The proto-Miata? I hope some ad person takes notice and creates a tv ad based on this brochure. Because most of my hopes these days are centered around tv ads.
  • ULP! WHEEEEE! Guess you can't posit the accepted practices on weekends. Don't be such a square, man.
  • Don't be such a square, man. Hey, you have to forgive a noob. I'm still learning when it's ok to break the rules...
