\n“…as entertaining as a visit to a vintage auto convention, but without the necessity of tramping around the dusty fairgrounds in which these gatherings are often held.

Drawn from a previously unknown private Tokyo collection, Buriki presents seventy miniature masterpieces that track the glory days of the Big Three automakers<\/span>.<\/p>\n
