1961-62 Prince Skyline

This one is from
http://www.importculture.com/
This Skyline was from around the time Prince merged with Nissan. The amazing thing about Skyline's is that they maintained the same design ques/elements from the beginning. Like the four round lights and the little line over the rear wheels like the ones you see on this car. Granted, there is not as much lineage as the Porsche 911, but compared to other Japanese makers, they didn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Toyota for example, is a great company, but they hardly ever look that their past models when designing a new car.

This Skyline was Italian designed, but it was short lived as it was too expensive to produce compared with the up and coming S50 models.

1977 Nissan Skyline (1977-1980)

I quite like this one. Clean, simple and unique. I would say it is very European looking. I reminds me of a Renault or Peugeot from the same era. However, I feel it does not have the same robust looks of the 73 model or the newer 90's Skylines. The top model had 145 hp.
