Following the Be-1, the PAO rolled out as the second model of “Pike Car” series. Pike car is a generic name of playful yet “edgy” cars manufactured on the condition of limited volume production. PAO was exhibited as a concept car at the 27th Tokyo Motor Show in 1987 and was rolled out in January 1989. Total production exceeded 30 thousand units. Its interior and exterior were designed in a retrospective style under the concept of “adventurous spirit” which became a big hit. The name PAO comes from the Chinese word meaning a Mongolian portable dwelling. This car is equipped with a canvas top.
