Safety first with the Toyota Corona T100 series. I think car safety has come a long way since this commercial was made!
Just look how that whole Corona crumples up with an impact speed of only 25 km/h!

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! :)
Back in the 80s most Japanese car manufacturers were creating hot turbo-ed (pronounced as Tarbo) city cars: Honda had the Honda City Turbo, Nissan had the Nissan March Turbo, Toyota had the Corsa Turboand if you didn’t have a turbo you had at least a Twin Cam (pronounced as Shweencam) engine like Suzuki did.
Daihatsu always was a master in creating small cars, so naturally they joined the turbo race with their own Charade Turbo. But when that wasn’t appealing enough they joined forces with Innocenti DeTomasso and created the Daihatsu DeTomasso Turbo:
Basically the car is the same as the normal Charade Turbo, but it has a better tuned engine, restyled to match the looks of the Innocenti Turbo DeTomaso. The Innocenti Turbo DeTomaso is a remodelled Mini by Bertone built by Innocenti with a tuned Daihatsu engine by DeTomasso and the Daihatsu Charade DeTomasso Turbo is a Charade with that very same engine. Can you still follow it? Neither did I at first… :D
I did post all the Skyline Japan commercials a year ago, but that users videos were removed (due to copyright infringement). Lucky enough I found another account who posted up a max-and-match version of it (perhaps official Nissan material?) with the official I love Japan song:
Somehow these videos don’t look that old anymore. May it has to do with the fashion nowadays?

Reich967 uploaded this 1990 US Nissan 240sx commercial (a pink 240sx!?) I thought I saw it somewhere before…
Perhaps this 1979 US Datsun 200sx commercial?
Yep, that’s the one! (ยด??)
