3. Encounter with Michelotti

In 1959, Hino Motors, Ltd. (hereafter Hino) renamed from Hino Diesel industry K.K. to Hino automobile K.K. This was something which both oneself and others recognizes the fact that they aim toward the comprehensive automaker including the small-sized car from the full-sized car manufacturer. While such as that, the development of Contessa 1300, long-awaited upper-class car had already started in 1960 that is time before the completion of the development of pure domestic small-sized car Contessa 900.
