I found another treasure on Marktplaats (Dutch Ebay): a JDM Nissan Cedric Y31 Brougham!

JDM Nissan Cedric Y31 Brougham
The car is powered by the 3 liter V6 VG30E, meaning it has 160hp and more importantly 247 N·m torque. Surely enough to move around this big green castle on wheels. ;)

The most beautiful element on this Cedric is by far the rabbit-ear-like fender mirrors. Very rare and certainly unique outside Japan:

In one of the Showa Meeting galleries I found a couple of Nissan GloriasCedric Y30s where one licenseplate stated it was Moon Equipped, but I surely had to disagree:

Skull Equipped Cedric Y30
Yes, it is more Skull Equipped than Moon Equipped!

Here is a closeup of that grille:
More skulls after the jump!

Apparently not only the Japanese are tossing their cars into the trenches and leave them to rot: the Russians clearly are able to do just as great job as their Japanese neighbors:

And from behind:

A damn shame: I would have given that car a great home! :(

Back in 1989 when the Japanese economy was still blooming and the Lost Decade was on the doorstep, this guy looked so careless in his Y30:

Careless in your Gloria Y30
Nothing to worry about! ;)

Found at KPY30VIP

I thought this old Nissan Cedric newspaper ad was very funny:

Nissan Cedric 330 newspaper ad
Now would the ad imply the Cedric is better than the carriage in the background or is it supposed to be just as good as the carriage? At least the man and his wife (presumably head of the clan) seem to favor the Cedric over the carriage!
