Yes, but is it the real thing or just a replica? I believe I saw somewhere that only the latter actually still existed.

Our second Model A Mitsubishi. The first was this prototype, snapped at the factory.

Mitsubishi's automotive origins date back as far as 1917, when the Mitsubishi Shipbuilding Co. Ltd. introduced the Mitsubishi Model A, Japan's first series-production automobile. An entirely hand-built seven-seater sedan based on the Fiat Tipo 3, it proved expensive compared to its American and European mass-produced rivals, and production was discontinued in 1921 after only 22 had been built.
