Retro hot rods

Mr Hiroyuki Wada, who runs a vintage car service company, driving a 1959 Cadillac Coupe DeVille after a gathering of auto enthusiasts in Tokyo, Japan. A loose club of fans rolls up most weekends in central Tokyo to show off their Cadillacs, Chevrolets and other modern classic vehicles from the mid-to late-20th century. The casual society has about 10 members. PHOTOS: AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
Mr Kazutaka Fukuda, who works in the construction industry, with a 1929 Ford Model A. These days, Japan is known for its practical cars that economise on fuel and space and rarely break down - a world away from the group's painstakingly maintained wheels. PHOTOS: AGENCE FRANCE-PRESSE
