Although I've submitted cars from a number of giant monster movies already, this is my very first Japanese giant monster movie, namely 1956's Sora no daikaiju Radon, or "Rodan" as it is known in the States. 
My apologies for the quality of the images. This, like Gorgo, is a result of the DVD itself. As of the moment the only Region 1 DVD of Rodan is the one put out by Sony Classic Media and it doesn't have the best transfer.
Convertible belonging to the doomed newlyweds. 2 stars.
Tank. Of course, you knew there'd be tanks in a monster movie. 3 stars.
Troop carrier truck. 2 stars.
The white car. 2 stars.
The black car. 2 stars.
Car. 1 star.
'Nother car. 2 stars.
Gasoline tanker truck, which gets blown through a building and blows pup. Looks like a Chevrolet of some sort. 2 stars.
Buses. 2 stars.
'Nother bus. 1 star.
Now there are a lot of Jeeps in this film, and not all of them are the same make/model, but since there isn't a good shot of any one by itself I'm just going to try my best. In this case, it's the Jeep in the foreground here. 3 stars.
The Jeep bringing up the rear. Although this is the best shot of the front of it, it plays a minor role in that it gets blown into the side of a boulder, although they use a scale model for that. 2 stars.
The Jeep in front. 2 stars.
The second Jeep. 2 stars.
Jeep in the front. 2 stars.
Feel free to use or discard any of these Jeeps are you see fit.
Some kind of missile launcher truck. These are only seen as models, so I'm unsure if such a vehicle actually exists full size. But what the heck. They're used in the defense of Sasebo and at the end. 3 stars.
Different kind of missile launcher truck. Same applies to it as the first one; it's only seen as a model. 2 stars.
