Prince Skyline Sport Coupe (1963: BLRA-3)

It was a famous car designer Giovanni Michelotti that designed Prince Skyline Sport which was rolled out at Torino Motor Show in Italy in 1960 and released in Japan in April 1962. Manufacturing method was unheard-of; artisans were invited from Italy and body was made by hand work that was handed down from them.
Mechanisms such as engine (4-cyl.in line OHV, 1900cc, 94ps) were shared with those of Prince Gloria 1900.
Since sticker prices were so high (1,850,000yen for coupe and 1,950,000yen for convertible at the time which is over 20,000,000yen now) that only a few people could afford it. The number of production units was only about 60.
