First introduced in 1965 the Nissan President was marketed towards the Japanese wealthy and elite as its long wheelbase and large engine displacement meant the model was only affordable by those in the top road tax bracket. Offered initially with either a 3 liter straight six or a 4 liter V8, the President featured a lavishly appointed interior featuring front and rear air-conditioning, full power features, and rear seat heaters. 1973 saw the introduction of the 197 horsepower 4.4 liter V8 engine, further enhancing the performance and exclusiveness of the President. Their legendary quality and performance attracted many of Japans high society including former Prime Minister Eisaku Sat?. Nissan’s flagship would see a slight redesign in 1982 with upgraded suspension, larger fuel tank and modern square shaped headlamps, while 1985 marked the first appearance of the Sovereign VIP trim level. These exclusive motorcars were built in limited numbers only until 1990 and with their timeless style, excellent power and full comfort features are considered by most to be the pinnacle of all the President models. 

The 1985 Nissan President Sovereign VIP Luxury Sedan featured here is finished in stunning Thunder Black with a gorgeous gray interior. This magnificent motorcar is seldom seen in this part of the world and is most likely one of only a handful in the U.S as it was designed and built for the leaders of Japan. The Nissan Presidential is one of the most luxurious cars built in the mid-80s and was priced similar to that of a Rolls-Royce during this period. We are proud to offer this extremely rare and sought-after motorcar to the most discerning collector, investor or enthusiast who understands and appreciates the potential of this great classic. Classic cars have proven to be among the most resilient and rewarding investments in recent years with the Historic Automobile Group Index (HAGI) jumping 39% in 2013 and posting gains of 395-percent over the last 10-years.
