1987 Nissan BE1
Here’s the car that started Nissan’s Pike Car line. A car that you could get and feel all warm and cozy: the 1987 Nissan BE1.
Ever think about the good ol’ days? Designer Naoki Sakai did so too, so it turned in a retro design meant to compete with other car brands that were taking over the Japanese market.
Meant to be used as an everyday car, Nissan used different materials to make the body of this car, including thermoplastic resin (that could resist small rock impacts), durasteel (mainly in the front), and ABS resin.
Buyers of this car were picked by lottery, because, of course, who wouldn’t want to drive home in a car with that much face card?
1989 Nissan S-Cargo
Available for purchase only by reservation, the 1989 Nissan S-Cargo is the Pike car meant for commercial use.
That hump on the back is indeed a loading area, like what you would find on a van. Thus, resulting in a car that looked like a snail, explaining why Nissan chose a name that sounded like escargot.
Only 8,000 units of this car were sold, making it a very rare JDM jewel and now you can get your hands on one of them with the Nissan Retro Rides Car Pack!
1989 Nissan Pao
Travel back to the late 80s and witness how fast orders for the 1989 Nissan Pao were made; they sold out in just three months with 51,667 applications for the unit.
Taking a closer look at this car will reveal inspiration taken from other car makers of the time, all put together into one practical package built to be as appealing as Japanese personal electronic devices.
Everything about this car evokes inexplicable appeal: the way the windows open, the optional sunroof, and the four delightful colors it came in are all part of what makes this tribute to retro cars a wonderful JDM to add to your collection!
1991 Nissan Figaro
Sold only in Nissan Cherry Stores back in the days of girl groups and grunge, the 1991 Nissan Figaro is a tiny, retro, convertible car built with a dash of luxury and extravagance.
The highlight of this car’s retro design is found inside. The console and dials are built in a beautiful white color with some chrome details found in frames and the steering wheel. The elegant lever at the center console could put some modern luxury cars to shame.
It may have been built to appeal to retro car fans; however, the Figaro came equipped with the latest technology for the time, such as air conditioning and a CD player.
Available in colors that represent the four seasons, the Figaro is a ride to enjoy all year long.
