Vehicle Description
71,242 kilometers The Mazda Cosmo, aptly named due to the
international fascination with the Space Race at the time, was
produced from 1967 to 1996. The original Series I model was offered
only as a two-door coupe with a rotary engine known as the Mazda
Wankel engine. This engine showcased Mazdas focus on future
developments and technology, and the concept was carried on through
all future generations. An inline 4-cylinder option was offered
with the second generation Series CD as well, but the rotary engine
remained the most popular choice in Japan due to lower road tax
obligations. Also with the second generation, a fastback body style
was offered and the third generation Series HB brought with it a
4-door sedan option, as well as the end of the piston engine. The
Cosmos fourth and final generation, the Series JC, introduced more
luxurious, state of the art options such as a Car Communication
System, color touch screen, mobile phone, GPS, and NTSC TV.
Additionally, similar to other Japanese luxury brands at the time,
the fourth generation Cosmo was offered only as a 4-speed automatic
transmission with manual shift mode. However, sales began to
dwindle, most likely due to the fact that the Cosmo no longer
complied with Japanese government regulations on dimension, and
production ceased in 1995. Third party pre-purchase inspections are
welcomed and encouraged. All vehicles sold by Duncan come with a
clean U.S. title.
