VIPSTYLE approved｜13CROWN INSURANCE specs for VIP fans to drool over!

ALESS, which has a store in Yamagata City, Gifu Prefecture, has a lot of cool sedans. Walking around the spacious exhibition hall and looking at the cars on display is truly an exciting experience.

Among the cars on display at ALESS, we would like to introduce one of the best, selected by the VIPSTYLE editorial staff at their own discretion and prejudice. It is INSURANCE’s 13 CROWN.

CROWN was born in 1955. Since then, it has spun its history as a symbol of Japanese luxury cars up to the present day, and the crown mark, the symbol of CROWN, is a special presence for VIP lovers.

Combined with the luxury car boom of the time, the 8th generation CROWN, the 13 series, enjoyed explosive popularity. The headlights, tail lamps, and body were all designed with a crisp look. As time went by, there was a time when this was considered old-fashioned, but it has come full circle and now enjoys a favorable reputation among young owners.

13CROWN was the spark that ignited the VIP boom. Hence, exclusive aero parts appeared from all kinds of manufacturers: ADMIRATION, WALD, AERO PALACE, EVOLUTION, CHARGE SPEED, F-TECH, GRANDIOSE, MITSUWA ENGINEERING, and JUNCTION PRODUCE, The list of manufacturers is endless.

Among the many rivals, the 13CROWN from INSURANCE boasted an exceptional presence and popularity. The vehicle shown here is equipped with a 5-piece full kit including front bumper, side steps, door panels, rear bumper, and wing. Some parts have been slightly modified, but overall, the bare INSURANCE design has been retained.

The most distinctive feature is probably the overhanging lip, which has disappeared in the VIP industry today. The lip protrudes from the lower part of the internally wrapped bumper. The wide and low atmosphere brought about by this design should be unbearable for those who know the VIPs of the time.

Later, however, simple and sporty styles became mainstream among VIPs, and this lip became a subject for modification among owners. Hence, despite the fact that INSURANCE was very popular, there are almost no vehicles that have kept the aero in such a beautiful condition.

Regardless of the age group, this year’s cars are now attracting more and more attention, especially 13CROWN and 31CIMA, and their prices are going up.

Compared to modern cars, the quality of comfort equipment is, of course, greatly inferior. Most of the dress-up parts are also out of print, and the difficulties are not small in this respect. In fact, INSURANCE parts can no longer be bought new. Knowing all these things, there are more people than you can imagine who want to drive a 13CROWN now in 2022.

People in their 40’s or older say, “This is the car I longed for when I was young, and now that I can afford it, I want to drive it. Those in their 20s and 30s say, “The classic style, which is completely different from today’s domestic cars, looks new. Each of them has different feelings, but their hearts have been touched by the coolness of the 13CROWN.

The 13CROWN from INSURANCE, one of the most famous VIP cars, is one of the few cars that boast this level of cleanliness, so those who really want one should not wait around. However, it is true that there are concerns in various areas because of the age of the car.

At that time, the store is very important. Whether or not the store understands the true nature of this year’s car will make a big difference in the outcome. The shop selling this car is ALESS, located in Yamagata City, Gifu Prefecture, and is one of the largest dress-up car stores in Japan, specializing in sedans in particular. They have their own maintenance shop, so the quality of their products is high, and they are highly trusted by their owners.

Buying a sedan from a store with no knowledge of sedans and parts at this time is a big gamble. However, you can rest assured that INSURANCE’s 13CROWN handled by ALESS, a store that loves sedans.
