History
Nissan Pao
The Pao blended French Citroen 2CV aesthetics with Japanese reliability in a uniquely charming package. Its boxy design featured exposed door hinges, minimal bodywork creases, and a utilitarian interior with simple controls. Buyers could specify various pastel color combinations and enjoy the versatility of removable canvas roof panels. Like other Pike Factory vehicles, the Pao was produced in limited numbers, making it a sought-after example of late-1980s Japanese design creativity.
