Parade celebrating the throne Open car on which both Majesty rides will be released October 7th 11:50
In the parade on the 22nd of this month to celebrate the imperial emperor's throne, an open car on which the Emperor and Empress rides was released to the press on the 7th.
The open car was newly procured by the government for the parade on the 22nd of this month, when the Emperor and his emperor were able to show the throne to the public and receive a blessing.
It has been publicized in the photos so far, but on the 7th it was released to the press for the first time after delivery at the Imperial Palace in late last month.
The open car is a special modification of Toyota's “Century” and the roof is removed. The total length of the car is about 5 meters and the width is almost 2 meters.
The rear seat is about 4 cm higher than the front seat, and the backrest angle is fixed at 25 degrees so that you can see the underarms from the roadside.
The car body has been painted many times to make it more glossy than the commercially available ones, and reinforcements are put on the floor etc. so that the strength of the car body is not impaired even without a roof.
On the day of the parade, the open car is supposed to run on the public road outside the Imperial Palace for the first time, and now the driver's proficiency training is repeated for the actual performance.
