Never knew the Datsun 200SX/Datsun Silvia/Nissan Gazelle S110 actually sold in Mexico as the Datsun Sakura.
Personally I think the name is even more awesome than Gazelle or Silvia, let alone 200SX… But that’s just my opinion. ;)

Back in the 80s I thought the Police Squad freeze frame epilogues were hilarious. I bet the people who made this Toyota Camry SV10 commercial thought the exact same thing:
Too bad this generation Camry transformed from a FR sporty sedan (based on the Carina A40) to a FF salaryman transporter…
This was a bit strange to me: a Japanese Bridgestone commercial featuring a British car. This little Austin A40 has great difficulties to keep up with a huge steam locomotive back in 1975.
We will probably never know why…
I’m not sure if I like the all new 1989 Cressida 2 liter 24 valve better than that (vintage) camera!
Nah, I’ll just stick to the older cars and cameras…
It is always easy money for a celebrity to borrow his/her face for a TV commercial while on the other hand the car manufacturer boosts up the car sales on its fanbase. This won’t always work of course, but in the case of actor Yamasaki Tsutomu his role was chosen perfectly!
He is just as classy as his Cresta and his Cresta just as classy as he is!
These two video are actually a promotional video for the Cresta where all features of the Super Lucent Twincam 24 are compared next to each other:
Those 80s airu spoiler option settu and airu purifieru sounds really attractive to me!
And in the third video the engine, suspension and all models are compared to each other:
Even though Super Deluxe may sound attractive, it is actually under the Super Lucent. Also the Super Custom almost sounds like the ideal VIP car, it actually is an old fashioned diesel.

This Luce Cosmo (HB platform) is placed in a Beverly Hills surrounding with an American license plate. I’ve seen this advertising trick more often with these old commercials. Were the Japanese thinking that when a car had an American license plate and a sunny Californian setting it would be with loved by the Americans? Or has Amercian approval? Or had American style?
For sure this Luce Cosmo never made it to the US at all!
And I love the Kossumoo! at the end! :)
