History:
The Nissan Cedric was first introduced in 1960 as a rival to the Toyota Crown, aiming to capture the executive and upper-middle-class market in Japan. By the late 1970s, the 430 generation adopted a boxier, more modern design language, reflecting global styling trends of the era. Produced from 1979 to 1983, the 430 Cedric offered a range of inline-four and six-cylinder engines, emphasising smooth performance and reliability. It was often used as an executive car, chauffeur-driven vehicle, and even adapted into police fleet service in Japan. The 430 series also gained recognition for introducing advanced features such as power accessories and improved safety equipment. Today, the Cedric 430 stands as a nostalgic reminder of Nissan’s push into the premium market, admired by enthusiasts for its sharp lines and place in Japanese motoring history.
