  • It's rumoured that there are less that 10 of these Jack Nicklaus special edition Nissan Glorias remaining in Japan. That I've found one of these luxury, 4 door hardtops is a near miracle. This double-gray, two-tone Gloria is in the best condition you could hope to see. My research tells me that it came to this part of Japan just a couple of years ago from north-eastern Japan.

    Absolutely love these cars... undeniably elegant yet having a discernibly sportier appearance than the standard 4 door sedan. We never got this special edition in my country, but we did get this model 430 for one model year only (1985), with all were rumoured to have been initially bought by government officials, business executives, and pilots. In my country they were badged as the Datsun 280C, same as the cheaper B-pillar'ed model, and they featured the L28 carburetor twin-spark engine with auto tranny.

    It's basically another version of the 260C with a different motor in it or what was called the Cedric in the U.S.
    I think the 1982 version of that became the Bluebird in Australia which was fitted with the L20 engine but was later called the Maxima in the U.S. & fitted with the VG20E engine, I think a variation of that was called the Cedric as well in the U.S.
    That basic shape probably became the Cefiro in Japan later on.
