Japanese cars of the thirties tended to be exact copies of American cars. I wonder if this is one too? |

Right, but what does that have to do with this? |

This is 100 % American Hudson. No contemporary Japanese car looked like this. Small Datsuns and Ohtas were all Austin 7-based, the Nissan 70 was based on the '35 Graham, the Toyoda AA was an in-house design that drew heavily on the Chrysler Airflow. It would be completely pointless for an overseas embassy to bring over a Japanese car anyway, when the natural solution would be to buy a locally available car, as is usually done. |

Good opportunity to name-drop every obscure Japanese pre-war automaker whose production output seldom exceeded the neighborhood of 50 cars each, some of which I have never heard of, so thanks. It's worth mentioning that most of these died out pretty quickly when volume car makers (Datsun/Nissan, Ohta, Toyoda, Kurogane et al) entered the scene and the chance of finding any of these abroad would be close to nil. They were usually of very poor quality, even Japanese officials acknowledged this and preferred using American cars instead (even domestically), it was only the embargo and the war itself that put a stop to this. |
