The "117 Saloon", which was the base of the Florian, was exhibited at the 13th Tokyo Motor Show in October 1966 along with the "117 Sports" (117 Coupe prototype) These featured round 4-lamp front view and rear combination lamps are very different from the production model.
The model’s name range was PA20 for the 1,600cc engine model, and PA30 for the larger 1,800cc engine model, with also a diesel model as the PAD30 The initial development code 117 for the saloon and coupe both cars share the chassis.

There are two types of body, the 4 -door sedan and a 5-door light van. Since its introduction in 1967 to 1983, it continued for a long period of time with only two minor changes. Most of the demand was for commercial use such as cars, taxis. For this reason, the number of production units is nearly double that of the 117 Coupe. The total production volume in 15 years is 145,836 units that includes 42,625 vans.
The drive system was rear-wheel drive, which was common at the time. There are several engine and grade settings. The suspension is a four-wheel independent suspension (except for the B type) of the preceding Bellet, while this car has double wishbones + coil springs on the front wheels, rigid axles + leaf springs on the rear wheels, and recirculated. It is a very conventional specification called a ball type steering gear.
1967 November-Announced and released. With its reverse slant shape on both front and rear, the silhouette with a lowered rear end, 6-light cabin, and large irregular square headlamps, the exterior has a strong European car look. The front uses a new emblem that Isuzu began to adopt at that time, the "eye mark" (a design similar to a weight, with two vertically long ovals placed in a circle). The engine was a Bellett GT 1,600cc OHV gasoline engine that was tuned for ease of handling, but changed to SOHC in 1969. The transmission was a 3-speed MT at the time of its debut, but it was changed to a 4-speed MT the following year. The rear lamp of the sedan is a small combination lamp of a tail lamp that also serves as a brake lamp and turn signal, and a backup lamp (backup lamp), and is extremely simple.
June 1968 there was added light van. with flip-up back door by 1969 Implemented the first minor change to the design of the front grill. The sedan's rear lamp was changed to a large, three-dimensional one, and the rear turn signal was changed to an independent type with an amber lens in order to comply with the revision of the law at the time. Therefore, Florian with a small rear lamp will be produced for a short period of less than two years.

The TS version "Touring Sports", was introduced and it is fitted with twin carburettors. Initially, the 1,600cc OHV gasoline engine for the Bellett was installed as it was, but it was changed to SOHC immediately after, and in the mid-term model transition in 1970 it was completely switched to the 1,800cc SOHC gasoline engine for the 117 coupes, and the mode becomes the PA30 type. The PA20 type TS had the same image as the Bellet GT with its optional matte black bonnet and front design.
By October 1970 the Second minor change. to round 4 headlamps. Even with the same round 4 lamps. The method of replacing light bezels and grilles from metal pressed parts with large resin moulded parts to achieve both a three-dimensional shape and a reduction in the number of parts, which was difficult in the past, was seen in all automobile manufacturers of this era. The sedans shape of the backup lamps, reflectors, have changed. Both the front and rear were redesigned to make the car look bigger, but the matching with the original body line. The 1,600cc SOHC gasoline model PA20 and the 1,800cc SOHC gasoline engine model PA30 were added.

November 1973 -Implemented more minor changes. The front turn signal has been changed to the one common to the 117 coupes. The light van was also changed at the same time, but since the number of productions was smaller than that of the sedan. In November 1975 new changes due to exhaust gas regulations. The 115-horsepower sporty specification TS, which is difficult to deal with, and the 1800DX automatic finished.

The Isuzu Unicab (Yunikyabu) was the first SUV that Isuzu produced from 1967 to 1974.
History
The model was first introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show 1966 and offered from July 1967 on the domestic market at a price of ¥ 490,005.
The Unicab was initially only as a pickup with 4 seats. In 1970, the model was offered with 2 side benches on the loading area, which increased the capacity to 8 seats from the KR85 type, with 2 front seats and 3 rear seats facing each other. Shortly after the launch, the model was also offered with soft top and was now available as a convertible. The windscreen could be folded, which was not allowed due to new safety standards from 1970 and was changed in production. The front and rear suspension was the company's small truck with independent, wishbones, torsion telescopic dampers and rigid axle, semi-elliptic leafsprings at the rear.
The Unicab was designed more for younger buyers than recreational vehicles and for the city and therefore had no four-wheel drive. However, the concept for the Japanese domestic market was too early to attract this kind of buyers. Accordingly, sales were low and production stopped in 1974. it was not until Six years later, that Isuzu introduced in 1980 with the Isuzu Faster Rodeo for the first time a SUV with four-wheel drive.
Initially, it was powered by a 1.3-liter gasoline engine with 1 Hitachi-Solex downdraught carburettor this early KR80 type engine was also a 1.3-liter G130 type engine for Bellett, which was later enlarged to 1.5 and 1.6 litre engines, which are also common in the Bellett and Florian.
