The Nissan President was a luxury limousine produced by Nissan from 1965 to 2010, This one being a 1981 edition . The car was mainly used by corporate executives and government officials. It was a luxury saloon specifically aimed at the Japanese market, where its main competitor was the Toyota Century ( Often referred to as the Japanese Rolls Royce ) . The President was the flagship limousine, and was sold at Nissan Motor store dealerships. Exports began to a few countries including Singapore and Hong Kong, though sales were limited. When the President was introduced in 1965, it wore the ‘Nissan’ badge unlike other Nissan products at the time which were labelled Datsun. A variety of different trim levels were offered, which included a base 3. 0 litre straight-six and a number of interior options. The one to have was the top-of-the-line Nissan President Sovereign V8. This meant a 4. 4 litre overhead valve V8 lived under the hood and put 200 horsepower to the ground through a three-speed automatic transmission.
It is easy to see why these flagship Nissan's were used by government ministers and VIP’s.
Introduced in 1965, Nissan's President was the brand's first commercially available premium luxury automobile. Designed and built for the Japanese domestic market, the President was largely unknown in the United States during its 46-year production run, though Infiniti's flagship Q45 (sold here 1990 - '96 and 2001 -'06) was essentially a rebadged President. With increasing interest in classic Japanese cars among American collectors
To separate the President from the rest of the brand’s lineup, the car was not sold through Datsun dealerships and was not branded as a Datsun. Instead, it carried the “Nissan” badge and was available only through Nissan Motor Store franchises. In many ways, this strategy was similar to that employed by Nissan in 1989, when the Japanese automaker debuted its premium Infiniti line and sold exclusively through Infiniti dealerships.
The President was not a car marketed to the average buyer; instead it was designed for titans of industry and heads of state. Though bench marked against premium offerings from the likes of Mercedes-Benz and Rolls-Royce during development, its primary competition came from home market rivals like the Toyota Century. The Nissan President became the car of choice for Japanese Prime Minister Eisaku Sato, who served from 1964 to 1972, giving the President needed publicity in its early years on the market.
The second generation H250 President models like this vehicle were built from 1973 through 1989, and in 1974 Nissan phased out the Y40 V-8, replacing it with the larger-displacement Y44E V-8. As the name implies, displacement grew from 4. 0 liters to 4. 4 liters, and electronic fuel injection replaced the earlier model’s four-barrel carburetor. Output grew to 200 horsepower and 253 pound-feet of torque, modest gains of three horsepower and 16 pound-feet of torque. In 1978, Nissan introduced a more prestigious version of the President, called the President Sovereign, and in 1985 upped its game again with the debut of the President Sovereign VIP trim.
