First picture, Cedric H130 late model

The second-generation Cedric, the H130, was launched in October 1965. It was designed by the Italian carrozzeria Pininfarina. The H130 was also the first to feature a 6-cylinder in line OHC engine (L20) that was to be used for the next two decades. Since its launch, minor changes were carried out every autumn, and by September 1968 the interior of the car as well as its styling had changed considerably.

Second picture, Cedric H130 early model

The second-generation Cedric (130) was launched in October 1965. In an era of fast transportation, this model offered quiet, high-speed performance and safety. Its streamlined "flowing-line" styling by Pininfarina, was designed to recall the beautiful currents of air found in Nature. In October of the following year, the L20 single-carb specification was introduced and the tail lights were enlarged.

Third picture, Cedric Custom 6 H130 late model

The second-generation Cedric (130) was launched in October 1965. It offered distinctive European styling and, to satisfy the demand for high speed, a 6-cylinder in line OHC engine (L20). As the front design was changed significantly in 1968, the terms "early" and "late" are applied to the different models. The car shown is a late model, with its characteristic front mask which emphasizes the width of the car.

Fourth picture, Cedric H/T Turbo Brogham K430

With the 430, launched in June 1979, there was no 2-door hardtop version but the estate wagon was reintroduced. This was Nissan’s first model to adopt the Engine Central Control System (ECCS). Following a minor change in December 1979, Japan’s first car with a turbo engine was introduced and new technology that improved the fuel economy of the turbo won high praise.

Fifth picture, Cedric Gran Turismo SV Y31

Launched in June 1987, the seventh-generation (Y31) model was designed to optimize the pleasure of motoring. In particular, the Gran Turismo, which imparted a quality feel to driving and featured a sporty front design, proved to be very popular. It had a V6, DOHC 24-valve engine, and attracted attention as the first Nissan car to use a low-friction turbo charger with ceramic turbine.

Sixth picture, Cedric Special 6 H130 late model

Launched in October 1965, the distinguishing feature of the second-generation model (130) was its prestigious style, designed by the Italian carrozzeria, Pininfarina. The Special 6 anticipated the era of high-speed transport by using a 6-cylinder in line OHC engine (L20); it also had disc brakes fitted as standard. In September 1968, the front end and rear end were significantly redesigned, after which it was referred to as the "late model".

The sixth-generation (Y30) was launched in June 1983. This model was available in three series: the 4-door sedan, the 4-door hardtop, and the estate wagon. The main engine was a newly developed V6 (VG30/20). In January 1987, to commemorate the production of 1 million VG engines, the Urban G - a special limited edition (500 cars) based on the Urban - was launched.

Following its debut at the 27th Tokyo Motor Show in 1987, the FY31 (first-generation Cima) was officially launched in January 1988 as Japan’s first car to sport a V6 twin-cam turbo engine. Without the constraints of a compact car frame, its generous styling and comfortable interior made it stand apart. The top-of-the-line Type II Limited model was also equipped with an electronically controlled air suspension.

Third picture, Cedric Sedan GL NY30

Since the appearance of the first-generation model 30 (announced in March 1960, launched in April), the Cedric - noted for its impressive styling and advanced automotive technologies - has stood at the forefront of Japanese automobile manufacture, demonstrating consistent popularity in a broad range of applications, from personal to formal.
The sixth-generation model Y30 was launched on June 22, 1983. This model attracted a great deal of interest as Japan’s first passenger car to be powered by a V-type 6-cylinder OHC engine. Its distinctive styling featured a dignified front grille design and a stable, low-profile silhouette. The 4-door hardtop, 4-door sedan, station wagon and van all received high praise.
Three versions of the newly developed VG engine were available for the Y30: the VG30E (180PS), VG20E (130PS), and VG20ET (170PS). New engine noise suppression, a lengthened wheelbase (+40mm), double vibration proofing for the suspension, and flush body surfaces all contributed to ensuring a quiet and comfortable interior.

In addition to the VG engine, 3 other engines were available: the economical LD28 (6-cylinder in-line diesel), CA20S (4-cylinder in-line gasoline, available for the sedan & van), and CA20P (LPG, available for the sedan). These engines were mainly used for the sedan since it is the first choice for formal (limousine/taxi) applications. Two engines were available for limousine rental specifications: the LD28 (diesel) and CA20P (LPG).

Fourth picture, Cedric Hardtop V30 Turbo Brougham VIP PY30

Since the first-generation model (30) appeared in April 1960, the Cedric has been at the forefront of the luxury sedan market, a domestically manufactured passenger car that truly represents Japan. The sixth-generation Y30 was launched on June 22, 1983.

Attracting attention as the first Japanese passenger car with a V6 engine (VG30E/VG20E), the Y30 also featured a wealth of advanced electronic technologies, including the world’s first automatic windshield wiper system with rain sensor and intermittent mode, electronic radio tuner (turbo models) with track display and program reservation, illuminated (EL) hood mascot, and computer-controlled fully automatic air conditioner.

On January 9, 1984, the V30E Brougham VIP debuted as the top-of-the-line model, complete with such standard equipment as computer-controlled power seats (position memory for all 4 seats). And on June 18 of that year the lineup gained two new models, the Turbo Brougham VIP and Turbo Brougham, both powered by the same turbocharged VG30ET engine (max. output: 230PS) used on the Fairlady Z.

The V30 Turbo Brougham VIP had improved suspension and brakes, and came with such standard equipment as an auto-levelizer to maintain vehicle height, and computer-controlled power seats. The wide range of options included genuine leather seats, keyless entry system, JBL speaker system, and fiber-optic steering wheel switches.

Fifth picture, Cedric Sedan Original (Taxi) QJY31

Since the appearance of the first-generation model 30 (announced in March 1960, launched in April), the Cedric - noted for its impressive styling and advanced automotive technologies - has stood at the forefront of Japanese automobile manufacture, securing an assured position of strength in a broad range of applications, from personal to formal.

The seventh-generation Y31 was launched on June 17, 1987. Its development concept was focused on luxury car styling, creating the optimal balance of performance specifications, and generating a feeling of high quality throughout. True to the Cedric tradition of always adopting the newest technologies, the designers of this model went to great lengths to incorporate the latest advances, including a newly developed V6 twin-cam high-flow ceramic turbo engine, an electronically controlled air suspension, and a high-quality 4-coat paint process.

There was a choice of a 4-door hardtop and a 4-door sedan; the latter could also be specified as a taxi. The three grades were Super Custom, Classic, and Original. At first the Y31 was available with either the RB20P LPG engine or the RD28 diesel engine, but as part of a minor change in June 1991 the NA20P 4-cylinder in-line LPG engine was added. At the same time, the vehicle design was modified to put more emphasis on rear-seat passengers, changing the roofline to increase headroom, and eliminating the opera windows. Adopted as standard equipment were halogen headlights with combined fog lights, a high-mount brake light, side-door beams, and a dual seat lifter for the driver.
