Commerical time: the Ken and Mary you never saw

I’m glad Hide7031 did not post up the too well known Ken&Mary Skyline commercials. These eight relatively unknown commercials were actually a quite a surprise for me:

I did say I liked the GC10 commercials better than the Ken&Mary ones, but I do have to admit I think the fourth Ken&Mary (GT) commercial is the best so far: showing the GT on a trailer (racing purpose?), Skyline waving goodbye with its rear wiper and then showing Ken and Mary with a bunch of binoculars as if they are watching a race…

Stay tuned for more commercials! :)

Vintage 1976 Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters

Just found this vintage 1976 Nissan Skyline GC110 brochure + posters in an auction on Ebay:
Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters
Nissan Skyline C110 brochure + posters

It does not only contain the GC110, but also posters of Ken and Meri, older Skylines (from 1957 onwards) and some racing cars(R380, R381 and the 50 victories by the Skyline!)

The Buy-me-now is right (39,95 AUD) but together with the shipping it is a bit steep… So if anyone wishes to give me a birthday present on the 16th, this is a good gift! ;)

You can find the auction here:

And hurry: the auction ends on the 11th of April!

Genuine Dutch Datsun 240K GT catalogue

Oops I did it again…

Yes: I bought another car folder… And this time I found the Dutch Datsun 240K GT and could not resist myself from buying it…

In contrast with the sober looks of the Dutch Nissan 2400GT this folder really goes wild with the styling! Beautiful 70s girls dressed up in fashionable 70s style. Somehow it really fits the GC110 well!

While the Nissan 2400GT was marketed as a performance car the 240K GT was clearly marketed as a stylish sports car.

Lucky enough this time Nissan allowed the export models of the Skyline to retain famous the round taillights!

And the car still has the same 2.4 liter L24 engine.

Scans will follow soon! (I hope)
