| The Bellel was a typical mid-size car of the early 1960s. On its debut, it featured relaxed European styling and a novel design that emphasized straight lines, as expressed in its triangular tail lamps and the like. It also had a diesel engine variant in addition to a gasoline engine, and was a popular choice for taxi companies due to its economy. In April 1963, it won the 1962 Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers Prize, being feted as a pioneer of Japanese diesel passenger vehicles and described as an "inventive and excellent feat of engineering". One example that has been specially preserved is a diesel PSD10 model with triangular tail lamps, which is kept at Isuzu's Fujisawa plant. |
