Never seen one of these before but nice V8 Nissan cruiser

 

 

Interesting car the President. I have seen one on the road, but quite a long time ago. I prefer the slightly smaller Cedric personally.

 

It would make a good slammed show car like this BMW.

Appreciate the history behind the nomenclature, but I can't stand 'Fairlady'; all trace of it has been removed from my car and thankfully it's not on the V5 either!

 

The Japanese have always made a terrible job of naming their cars with Nissan in particular being the worst culprit.

 

Cherry, Bluebird and Sunny are by far the worst that we got in England. Sunny was replaced by Almera which is as dull as the car and then by Pulsar which sounds exciting (harking back to the excited by strangely styled GTi-R) but again, a very dull vehicle which was only really built and sold for accounting reasons. A car for people that don't really like cars and until we get the highly anticipated 'Nismo' version, it will remain one of the blandest cars Nissan has ever created.

LOL - but very true.... Simon, sir, it will be like the end of an era if you change your name.....:wink:

I've always had a bit of a soft spot for the old large Jap cars like the President, Cedric and Laurel. I also quite like some of Toyota's too like the Crown, Aristo and Chaser.

 

I agree with you Gary, they look great slammed:)

looks amazing
