Does anybody know the history of the skyline? Somebody told me the started making them in the 50's? I thought they started them in the 70's for the emperor?

HAHA, I found it, it took a good five, maybe ten minutes, but i got it. Here is the skyline museum from the nissan site. Yes, they started in the 1950's, but not as nissan.

There was a '67 Prince Skyline S54B for sale on Ebay about a year ago. RHD, with a bunch of spare parts. The location was the kicker, too... The car was right here in LA. I tried emailing the guy, but there was no response. My friend and I had a bidding war on it, and the car reached $1200, but the reserve was not met, and the car was never listed again. The guy didn't respond to post-auction emails either. Too bad... I really wanted that damn car.
