We all know the Nissan Skyline C210 was better known as the Skyline Japan. What we never saw so far were the commercials featuring a Ken and Mary driving the C210 while Mary states she loves Japan.
There are some gems between these commercials: the helicopter commercial is quite good and the very un-ken&mary 2000GT commercial is also very 80s. Funny to see how Ken and Mary never seem to age at all!

Jeremy Clarkson once declared the Nissan Sunny to be the worst car in the world, ever. Obviously I don’t agree with him because we all know the Alfa Romeo Arna was worse! Anyway, to prove Clarkson wrong I’ll show you how sexy a Datsun Sunny B210 can be:
I must add that anything is more sexy than that huge bloke stripping down to his stubbies, so compared to him even Clarkson would have been sexy! ;)
If you still have no idea what this commercial was for back in 2006, you might get some clues in this commercial

I’m glad Hide7031 did not post up the too well known Ken&Mary Skyline commercials. These eight relatively unknown commercials were actually a quite a surprise for me:
I did say I liked the GC10 commercials better than the Ken&Mary ones, but I do have to admit I think the fourth Ken&Mary (GT) commercial is the best so far: showing the GT on a trailer (racing purpose?), Skyline waving goodbye with its rear wiper and then showing Ken and Mary with a bunch of binoculars as if they are watching a race…
Stay tuned for more commercials! :)
Remember I posted about the DVD with all the JDM Skyline commercials on it? Well, someone already posted up the Skyline GC10 part on Youtube… After yesterdays shoebox gem GC10 advertisement I thought it would be very nice to post it up immediately today!
La la la la laaaa!
Damn, commercials were cheesy back in the late 60s! Lucky for us the Skyline itself wasn’t that cheesy! ;)
Personally I like these GC10 commercials better than the famous GC110 Ken&Mary commercials (note that a young Ken and Mary already star in some of these commercials!). Perhaps it has to do with the sporty image of the GC10 model range?
The same user uploaded a few other Skyline commercials as well, so I will post them spread over the upcoming week!
This 1977 Toyota Carina commercial shows how the A40 Carina was designed: with tron-like neon computer vectors the laser sharp lines of the A40 were cut out and moulded into the famous (pre-facelift) shape!
Apparently Toyota did not need Sonny Chiba to convince us the sharp lines were the way to go in 1977! Did they they change their mind and rehired him in 1979?
Another proof that Japanese girls love weird fashion: the mori hari. This has been fashion for a while now and the media is picking it up as well, like this damn funny advertisement:
If you want to see how big this craze is, watch this video:
WTF?! How can you have 8cm of hair?
