The Nissan President was a full-size luxury sedan produced by Nissan, primarily for the Japanese domestic market. Here’s a plain-text history of the 1970s-era Nissan President:

• Introduction: The Nissan President was first introduced in 1965 as Nissan’s flagship luxury vehicle, competing with the Toyota Century. It was aimed at government officials, corporate executives, and dignitaries.
• First Generation (150 series, 1965–1973):
  • Continued into the early 1970s with modest updates.
  • Offered luxurious features like power windows, advanced air conditioning, and high-end upholstery.
  • Engine options included a 4.0L Y40 V8 engine and a 3.0L straight-six.
  • Focused on rear passenger comfort, with options like a partition window and power-adjustable rear seats.
• Second Generation (250 series, 1973–1990):
  • Introduced in 1973, this generation modernised the styling with a more squared-off, formal design.
  • Featured a longer wheelbase and larger body to enhance rear-seat comfort.
  • Continued use of the 4.4L Y44 V8 engine (upgraded version of the Y40).
  • Technological updates included electronic fuel injection in later years, automatic climate control, and enhanced safety features.
  • Despite being very advanced for its time, it remained a low-production model due to its niche market.
• Market Role:
  • Rarely exported; primarily sold in Japan.
  • Frequently used as official government vehicles and by the Imperial Household.
  • Nissan did not heavily promote it overseas, as luxury exports were dominated by Western brands
