History:
The Nissan Gloria, alongside its sibling the Cedric, represented Nissan’s bid to dominate the executive car market in Japan. The 430 series, introduced in 1979, carried a bold and angular design that matched global styling trends of the period. The 280E Brougham trim was one of the more luxurious offerings, equipped with a 2.8-litre inline-six engine that delivered smooth performance and refinement. Inside, the Brougham featured upscale appointments, designed to appeal to executives, officials, and affluent buyers seeking comfort and status. The Gloria was often used for chauffeur-driven service, reflecting its reputation as a symbol of prestige. Today, the 430 Gloria Brougham remains an admired piece of Nissan’s heritage, representing the elegance and engineering of Japan’s executive-class vehicles in the early 1980s.
