Hillman Minx Hi-Style Model PH400

Commentary

A mildly curving tailfin and large tail lamps that matched the tailfin were added to the rear fender to renew the appearance.
The Super Deluxe was equipped with Japan’s first commercially available automatic beam changer from high to low by detecting the light of the headlamps of an oncoming car. Other features that were far ahead of the time included a all transistor radio, a magnet antenna that extended out when the radio was turned on, washer switch interlocking wipers and two-speed wipers.
