Mmm ... I remember those 60s models. I imagine there was some quality there, but dang, the styling.

It is remarkable how quickly the Japanese caught up with the west. When Adm. Perry entered Edo Bay with the black ships in 1853 they were an advanced society in their own right but sort of stuck at an earlier point in time. They quickly saw what western tech had to offer.
