Car Of The Day: November 2, 2010
Today's car of the day is Tomica's 2008 Suzuki Every.
The Suzuki Carry is a kei truck produced by the Japanese automaker Suzuki. The microvan version was originally called the Carry van until 1982 when the van was renamed as the (Japanese: Suzuki Every). In Japan, the Carry and Every are Kei cars but Suzuki Every Landy, the bigger exported version of Every had a longer hood for safety purposes and a larger 1.3-liter 82 hp (61 kW) 4-cylinder engine. They have been sold under a myriad different names in several countries, and hold the distinction of probably being the only car ever offered both with Chevrolet and Ford badges.

This is a recent addition to my collection, and represents a Japanese postal truck.
In their home market, the Carry truck and Every van compete with a number of trucks of the same size, such as the Honda Acty, the Subaru Sambar truck and van, the Mitsubishi Minicab, and the Daihatsu Atrai.
The first two generations of Carrys were sold with the Suzulight badge rather than Suzuki, emphasizing the company's focus on "Light Cars", better known as Kei jidosha.
