Toyota 1978 Land Cruiser

FJ Company is specialized in performing full, frame-off restorations of the classic Japanese Toyota FJ series.

Their latest masterpiece is this beautiful 1978 Land Cruiser FJ40, a build they consider to be their best work to date. 
The guys performed their trademark frame off nut and bolt restoration, replaced the door panels, windows, dash pads, and headliner, and re-upholstered the seats. They also rebuilt the 4.2-liter six-cylinder engine, four-speed transmission, and four-wheel-drive system.

The World of Couture

Couture clients invested time and effort into commissioning their wardrobes, and the relationship with the designer was an intimate one. Hardy Amies wrote, 'It is often forgotten that we execute orders: we do not sell clothes. If you went into the Boutique you would buy a suit, but if you walk upstairs you order a suit.'

The showing of the new designs followed fixed laws of precedence, beginning with suits and ending with evening wear.

Daywear

Day outfits included casual ensembles (ensembles simples), morning suits (tailleurs matin), casual afternoon suits (robes d'après-midi simples) and sophisticated dress suits (tailleurs habillés).

Batmobile

The Batmobile is a trademark as much as it's owner. First appeared in 1966 in the television series Batman and since then was present in all Batman productions though suffered serious modification.
