Newman Super 5 with lead window

Back in 2023, @drifand posted his Newman Super 5 collection. It seems Newman used “Super 5” as a model line and a wide number of models were included in it.

I couldn’t get OCR to properly translate the stylized writing. It chose “Command 5.” I’m guessing it’s “Super 5.” Anyway, I’m assuming this was sold in the JDM as well as for export? Or why else make the box lettered in English wording?

Anyway, the body design reminds me a lot of a ¥500 Mitsubishi executive, also with grooved silver rear section. But of course, the Newman has an interesting feature–a lead level window.
