It is THE FIRST NISSAN Skyline, but not the first Skyline. The first Skyline was manufactured by Prince Motor Company. The later began as the Tachikawa Aircraft Company, a producer of the famous Japanese Zero fighter planes used in WWII. After the war, the aircraft manufacturers turned to the motor trade. The first generation of Skyline was designated ALSID-1/ALSID-2/BLRA-3 and was produced from 1957 -1963. The second Generation of Skyline was designated S50/S54/S57, & was produced from 1963-1968. Nissan merged with Prince Motor company in 1966 & absorbed the Skyline, Gloria & the Cherry into its range of vehicles.
Heres a few videos for the skyline C10

The very first C10s were 4-doors. Not forgetting that the very *first* C10s were actually short-nosed 4-banger engined 4-doors to boot.....
But the very FIRST 'Nissan' Skylines ( as opposed to Prince Skylines ) were the late ( '67 ) production S54-series cars. Essentially a Prince product with the NISSAN badge on it.

What you have actually done is bowdlerise it, completely removing the context in which I posted and - therefore - leaving what remains of my post hanging in mid air and making little sense. |

But the very FIRST 'Nissan' Skylines ( as opposed to Prince Skylines ) were the late ( '67 ) production S54-series cars. Essentially a Prince product with the NISSAN badge on it. From what I have read, the S50s were called various names. Depending on the market place, the names ranged from Nissan Prince, Prince or Nissan. The models with these names were only for some 1966 & all 1967 cars whereas the previous 3 years they were called Prince Skyline. So its a difficult one. I will leave each individual to decide which is the first Nissan Skyline, the C10 or S50..... |
