In the scene where the Satomobiles are lined up across, is that a reference to the makings of Ford’s quadricycle? I just learned this yesterday because of presentations in my class, and there was a picture showing the Quadricycles all lined up like the Satomobiles were.

Hehehe. Yes.

Well, maybe not the Quadricycles, but Sato and Ford are certainly echoes of each other. Haroshi is sort of 80% Henry Ford and 20% J.D. Rockafeller

Quadricycles do look similar to the Satomobiles:

But Ford’s Model T was his really popular model and the one that was produced on the factory line.

I think the Satomobile/Future Industries look is more based around the Model T final assembly line:

But yes! Good eye.

Between this and the history of the Triads looking similar to the Five Points New York Gang War, I am very happy with the real American history on display.
