What a beautiful car, they knew how to make them look nice back then.

seriously? a -99 camry? once you've owned a -83 nissan bluebird you can complain about your camry. it's bloody cruise liner compared to that shoebox on wheels.

There are several benifits with modern cars, but back then there seemed to be a bigger amount of car models with one simple thing that's been almost completely lost. Soul. This beautiful machine reminds us of that.

Nope, I don't like it.

Thats a certainly a car with nice curves
I have to say that the cars of the 1950s and 60s have something special of how they look..the chrome,and all that. Those are simply beautiful cars

Never even heard of them, and we've owned tons of Nissans!

correction -88 bluebird. i think its named Datsun/Nissan Stanza in the uk and us. anyways here's the damn thing. whats truly sad is that they're great cars when they run. but they rarely do that...

A nice car that streamliner but I would rather like to have a Alfa Romeo Scighera..

What a sweet looking car.. Would hate to try and take a tight corner in it, however.

Speed bumps and some parking lot entrances would give it trouble as well.
