Marty is a 1969 Subaru 360 sedan restored and modified with a removable vinyl top in place of his original fiberglass top. He has a 2 stroke 2 cylinder rear mounted engine. We adopted Marty from a family in Eastern Washington where he was a member of their family for many years. They enjoyed taking him to car shows and parades where he often won awards, most often as the People’s Choice.
Production of the 360 sedan in 1958 and it was the first line of cars produced by Fuji Heavy Industries which is the parent company of Subaru. The name 360 is derived from the engine displacement of 356cc. The 360 came in four body styles.
There were two sedans – the “Standard” which was white, the sport model called the “Young” which came in yellow, a van and a pickup model. The 360 was first imported into the US in 1968 by Malcolm Bricklin. The 360 retailed for around $1300 but sales were low and in 1970 production was stopped.
