CONY CARS
the Guppy, and other tiny tiddlers from the Aichi Machine Co. |
| Cony cars were built by the Aichi Machine Industry Company
in Nagoya. The company was founded in 1943 and in 1965 it became part of
the Nissan group. Aichi is still operating today, building the Nissan Serena
mini-bus. Cony's speciality was building micro-cars with engines below
360cc. The under 360cc class in Japan was taxed at a very low rate, making
the cars very inexpensive. The list of cars below is a selection of some
of the vehicles produced by Aichi.
CONY GUPPY
The Cony Guppy was a (very) small pick-up truck. It was powered by a 199cc 11hp two-stroke one cylinder engine. The engine was mid-mounted just behind and below the seats.

CONY 360 SERIES
The 360 was powered by a 354cc 18hp 2cyl. engine. It was available as a pick-up truck, a 2 seater delivery van and the 4 seater "Coach" model pictured above. It was also, rather inexplicably, sold as the Cony Giant.
