1961-62 Prince Skyline

This one is from

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)

A 1977 model from http://www.amayama.com/
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.

Original Wheels

These are the original wheels found on the R32 GTR. It is rare to see them these days because everybody ops for lower profile aftermarket wheels. Personally, I would love to have a set of these rims. However, they do not suit a silver body. Matching silver rims work far better on a silver body. On black, gun metal gray, and dark red, these rims work very well. I also like the "S" logo in the middle. This Skyline was sold by http://www.theskylineshop.com

An interesting side note, the lowest powered R32 Skylines had a mere 91 hp! This would be the GXi Type-X model. Could you imagine that!? That is even lower than all the Skylines from 1968 until 1988. They had at least 95 hp.
