Remembering Japanese cars from the past
The photographers eldest son is showing he is just as cool as his dad in the Yonmeri GC110 Skyline:
Family Album Treasure: Nissan Skyline GC110
Why did my dad never own a Yonmeri?? Well at least I hope my son will be as cool as this kid in the Carina! :P
[Found on Yahoo blogs]
BTW: I renamed the Shoebox gems to Family Album Treasures since that is fitting the category a bit better…
You probably thought the flared Skyline was about a Skyline with some widened arches, well you are wrong about that!
Flared Nissan Skyline GTX GC110
Yep, this Minkara user was a genuine owner of a moss green Skyline GTX back in the 70s!
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! :)
I saw this amazing video containing all Japanese Nissan Skyline commercials being announced a few weeks back on a Minkara blog:
Nissan Skyline Japanese commercials collection
This DVD covers almost all models: from the second generation (S50), third generation (C10 aka hakosuka), fourth (C110 aka Kenmeri) and up to the tenth generation (R34)!
I was able to find the DVD on Amazon Japan (?????? CM?????? [DVD])
I hope you already saw the incredibly cool Nissan Skyline VC110 van by deluxe1969. How about his latest addition to his collection? A 1973 Nissan Skyline 1800GL, in export words: a Datsun 180K!
Probably the car is not exactly the same as the exported 180K, but surely the 1800GL is way cooler than the export model! ;)
Just found this vintage 1976 Nissan Skyline GC110 brochure + posters in an auction on Ebay:
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!
