Nissan Gloria Super Deluxe
This Prince-developed luxury sedan became a Nissan in more than name when the L20 inline-six arrived late in 1969.

Research pending
A matching completed auction sale has not been verified for this exact year, body, trim, engine, transmission and market.
Joyride shows this gap instead of substituting an asking price, unsold bid or mismatched special vehicle.
More than a set of wheels.
The third Gloria debuted in April 1967 soon after Nissan and Prince merged. Former Prince engineers did much of the development. Nissan changed from the Prince G7 six to its own L20 in October 1969; this profile follows Nissan’s exact preserved 1970 HA30 Super Deluxe record and does not borrow the earlier car’s gearbox.
Look a little closer.
The HA30 code marks the L20-engined member of a Gloria family whose body was largely developed by former Prince engineers.
Photos show an example of the model or generation. The pictured vehicle’s year, equipment, or modifications can differ from the specification described here.
A merger visible under the bonnet
The body and much of the engineering came from former Prince staff, but Nissan progressively shared components. The October 1969 change from the Prince G7 to the Nissan L20 is why this preserved Super Deluxe carries the HA30 code.

A secondary catalogue describes one late-1969 manual version, but Nissan’s exact 1970 preserved-car record does not identify this car’s transmission. Joyride therefore keeps the useful engine, chassis and dimension facts while refusing to turn a nearby variant into an exact claim.
