Mitsubishi Motors North America announced its
partnership with West Coast Customs to recreate the original Mitsubishi Model
A, using the platform of an Outlander PHEV. The purpose behind the whole
project is to celebrate Mitsubishi’s centennial anniversary as it’s been 100
years since the world met the 1917 Model A.
“The
Mitsubishi Model A is the vehicle that paved the way for many other unique and
exciting models over the years and we're excited to re-design it with West
Coast Customs,” said Francine Harsini, senior director, marketing at Mitsubishi
North America. “The Mitsubishi Model A
will feature all the distinctive aspects of the 1917 vehicle, but will be built
on the PHEV platform and offer the latest in automotive technology.”
The car is currently being built at West Coast
Customs’ facilities in Burbank and is expected to be finished this summer, with
its debut scheduled to take place on an episode of the ‘Inside West Coast
Customs’ TV show.
