Singer-songwriter and comedian George Tokoro is no stranger to vintage cars. A self-proclaimed "car guy," he is famous not only as one of the most familiar faces on Japanese television, but also for being one of the country's most high-profile evangelists of automotive culture.
"I don't like American cars because they're great," Tokoro says, perching between a circa 1950s Ford F1 truck and a 1970s-era Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. "I like American cars because they're interesting."
While he plays a funnyman on TV, Tokoro takes his motor vehicle passion seriously, with a personal collection of American muscle cars, motorcycles and memorabilia large enough to fill an Alabama antique mall.
