Nissan Skyline History

The Nissan Skyline was invented in 1957. When it was first made it was was called Prince Skyline by Prince Motor Company in Japan, not Nissan. When it was made it was meant to be a Luxury car, not a tuner car, which is a car that you fix and can put aftermarket parts on that are normally used for street racing. The Skyline was not very popular until it was in an early sixties movie called “Godzilla”. Later on in 1964 the owner of Prince Motor Company decided it was time for the Skyline to get onto a racetrack. They did some major modifications to the earlier models of the Skyline. They put a straight six motor in the car which added an extra 125 hp to the car. Since the car was so successful, they decided to make a variant of the Prince Skyline and called it a Skyline 2000 GT. In 1966, Prince Motor Company decided since Toyota merged with Daihatsu then Prince would merge with Nissan, which evolved the Skyline. At a 1969 Tokyo Auto Show, Prince and Nissan decided to show their new and improved Skyline, the Skyline GT-R. At first it was a four door sedan but later on in 1971 there was a 2 door coupe version introduced. The 2
