History
Prince Gloria Super 6
The Prince Gloria Super 6 represents an important chapter in Japanese automotive history, produced by Prince Motor Company before its 1966 merger with Nissan. Named 'Gloria' (Latin for 'glory'), it was designed as Japan's first true luxury sedan to compete with imported European cars. Its smooth inline-six engine, advanced for 1960s Japan, provided refined power delivery befitting its prestige positioning. The Gloria's elegant Italian-influenced styling and quality construction made it popular with government officials and business leaders. This lineage continued through Nissan, with the Gloria name lasting until 2004.
