The front looks like an 80's Golf.

Despite the good images, the later square-box model still manages to be one of the most dull, bland cars ever.

First picture, Cherry Deluxe E10

The launch of the first-generation Cherry was in October 1970. It was Nissan’s first FF vehicle. The design of the cabin interior makes use of the fact that it is an FF car, offering as much space as the old Skyline 1500 (S50). Its distinctive "eyeline window" was also popular. There were several models to choose from: as well as the 2-door sedan, 4-door sedan and 3-door van, a 1,200cc twin-carb X-1 was launched at the same time.

The Cherry debuted as Nissan’s first FF car in October 1970, with the same A10 and A12 engines as those in the Sunny. In November of the following year, a coupe was added to the lineup. The top-tier "X-1" model was powered by the SU twin-carb A12 (80ps) engine and attracted many younger drivers. In the 1972 Fuji GC Series Minor Touring class, it performed well alongside the Sunny, which won that year’s title.

Third picture, Cherry FII Coupé KPF10

The F10 was launched in September 1974. This particular vehicle was the highest grade model, a works car based on the GX Twin (with SU twin-carb engine). It was used in photo shoots for the "Yellow Cherry" catalog. However, because Nissan retired from racing, it has never been in an actual competition, only being driven by Masahiro Hasemi in a demo run for Race de Nippon 1976 in Tsukuba.
