Some time ago I saw an ad on Marktplaats selling a brochure Nissan 1965 without any picture with it. The description sounded good, it was fairly cheap (considering the age of it) and I contacted the seller. He didn’t have any possibility to send me pictures so I took the “risk”. Few days later this arrived:
Brochure Nissan 1965
It is actually a book of 50 pages and it is entirely in English. It was meant to be given away to new possible import companies and dealerships.

It shows the modernized Nissan during the early 60s: a modern car lineup, healthy figures, four modern production plants and even a test facility! Their growth is amazing during the late 50s and early 60s: between 20% and 25% growth each year!

As you can see: they have a model for almost everyone! On the front row the Fairladies on the left, the bluebird 410s in the middle and the new Silvia on the right. On the second row all the Cedrics are lined up. On the remaining rows all the utilitarian vehicles are shown.

This is the Oppama plant (????) in Yokosuka with a private pier at the Tokyo Bay and you can also see the test track on the background. The plant was considered the most modern car factory back in 1961 when it was opened and later in 1970 the first car factory to make use of robot welding. The test track is the very same as the one used in the 1960s Nissan Bluebird crashtest videos I posted some time ago.

And of course their latest product: a 1595cc two seater listening to the lovely name Silvia.
There is much much more in this book and I’m very happy I took the gamble to buy this unseen. A true gem! :)
lol my old corolla (1989 model) was not even near of that spec,my corolla was about 40-60hp max lol
Great classic brochure. I love the CSP311!
I have such a book (or two, both another year) from 1973 or 71. In that there´s even a picture of the Nissan rocket and the facility of them! :)
