I think I posted a few of these commercials sometime before, but most of the videos have been removed from Youtube in the meantime. Hopefully these won't disappear since they are not ripped from the DVD.

Even before the famous Ken and Mary C110 commercials Nissan was marketing the Skyline to be the car for the young and sporty couples, including the G18 Skyline GC10 deluxe around 9:08. Funny how his beret changes into a hat within a few seconds...

Don't be fooled by the first commercial: that's a model from the previous S50 generation Skyline.

Mental note: If I ever buy a Skyline C10 I'll definitely have to buy a beret as well!

In my Valentine's day search yesterday I found a blog posting of someone selling these original Ken & Mary Skyline C110 stickers:

Ken & Mary Skyline stickers
According to the text the owner inherited a bunch of brochures and stickers from his dad.

His dad bought the Kenmeri Skyline back in the 70s and received this package of promotional material with the Skyline:

Music from commercials always have been successful if the product caught on. This was especially the case for the Nissan Skyline in Japan: apparently there were many vinyl records, cassette tapes and CDs sold with the music of the Skyline commercials.

Kayou is a collector of these items and put pictures of them on Minkara:

And what would a collection be without the full Paul Newman cassette collection?

Well, not entirely true: Huminori Watanabe is a plumber and he drives a Nissan Skyline KGC110 GT-R imitation.

If you look careful enough you will notice this KGC110 has a SOHC L20A or L24 inline six and not the DOHC S20 that featured in the GT-R. Still a very cool car to do your plumbing in. :D :D

This Japanese Nissan Note ad has been around for some time now. It features two guys called Rose and Mary who want to make their own Nissan Note:

This is the translated text of Rose and Mary:
Hi im mary!

Wow!

Good-mileage, fun-to-drive. Nissan NOTE
I have no idea if the pun of this commercial is supposed to be the Ken & Mary Skyline reference, but it surely would be very funny if it were!
