Вставка
- Опубліковано 22 сер 2024
- Lots of Japanese cars have nicknames. Perhaps you've heard Hakosuka, Kenmeri & Butaketsu, but do you know the nickname of this generation of Prince Gloria, and/or the reason behind it? Watch and learn.
Also in this video we get to see the G7 (Japan's first mass-produced SOHC) engine hand-crank started!

Oh superb! That sounded as smooth as a bloody sewing machine when she fired up! Apologise for not commenting on your last update but I spent the rest of the day on your websites... Love the map on Castle Explorer and Wasabi Cars!
Hey, it's all good. Thanks for checking out the sites. :)
Hi Daniel,
Love the black car, there were a few running around New Zealand but very rare now, they were a real nice car.
Hi Dan, my Auto Electrician (George) back in the late '60's had a Sedan & Wagon (wife had the wagon) back here in Brisbane AU. & swore by them. From memory he had little to no trouble from them (Memory fading now) I remember thinking how flash they were back then with heater, radio, & cigarette lighter all standard equipment. You had to buy a Premier Holden, Valiant Regal of Ford Fairmont & I think you still needed to fit a radio to get the same comforts for nearly twice the price. Thanks so much for sharing, I don't always reply but I always have a look. Cheers Bill. Jimboomba, Australia.
In Australia?? Wow. Thanks for watching Bill. :)
Clean car, and i liked how he had to crank it to get it to start.
I also appreciate how you respond to a lot of comments.
Thanks. I try to get to an many comments as I can. It's a right pain when they pile up though. :(
I've always believed that hand cranking an engine in the 1 to 3 liter class should be an option ( in the mid 20th century ). I love it!
That back-end is beautiful! :)
I agree. :)
Beautiful car Dan, love the design, the chrome, style and the colour of this one. I remember watching the vid of that first one you posted a few years ago! Would love one of these in the garage :) cheers!
Yeah, great style, and not what you'd expect from a 60's Japanese car. Man, deep thanks for sticking around. I hope I can keep presenting interesting tings in an interesting way.
beautiful car i love it
I recently bought a Tomica Limited vintage 1:64 model of this car. Similar colour I think.
I have become quite a fan of 1:64 as of late due to the fact they are smaller and easier to display.
Hand started! I love it!!!
A handcrank in the 60' ! Wow!
Oh, lordy, Citroen persisted with a hand-crank feature up through the end of the D Series in 1975, and the 2CV to 1990!! IIRC, there were also a few Russian cars (Sorry- don't remember which ones) that continued on until the mid '80's.
Always a workout on the old arm.
Cool! I would love to see a wagon version as I am a wagon fan.
Me too. I do like to see alternative body styles of cars.
I like this one... The only other car I ever saw built after 1960 with a removable crank in the front is a Russian Lada from the early 1980s that looked a lot like it was based on a Fiat design...
ついにジョンフン+ヘイン、ハンソル+アヨンもハチグロスーパー6に乗り放題ホヨンも乗りたーい💜💜💜
haha, hand cranked, you don't see that to often, my little dog wears a bandanna everyday,
keep the great videos coming Dan :)
I checked the bumpers of all the other Glorias in the video and none of them had the hole in the bumper. I guess it was just the '62 & the '63s. :)
WasabiCars I used to have a 1965 New Zealand assembled Prince Gloria 6, (yes we got these in NZ too, in both sedan and estate) which had the crank handle This was deleted for our 1966 Prince Gloria (renamed Prince B200 for countries outside of Japan, incidentally the Skyline GT in NZ was badged A200)
They were highly regarded in New Zealand, and were known somewhat as a luxury car, even though technically a base model Gloria, by Japanese Gloria specs, they did have some Super 6 niceties as standard....clock, heater, full hubcaps, rear bumper overriders, overdrive gearbox etc, and were more expensive than a Mk3 Ford Zodiac automatic.
Looks like that motor still has good compression, a real cranker.
I think I want to get one of these they are growing on me
G'day, Dan'l. Nice looking car, the Prince Gloria Super 6. I only saw one previous video you did of the car. Beautiful looking car. Looking at the car, it reminds me of some American cars that were sold during that time. It's a shame that it was never sold here in the United States, for it would've shown us that Nissan (Datsun) were capable of building bigger cars. I love the colours these cars came in. I was wondering about the crank starter on this one. He got it started! :)
That Gloria is pretty nice- heavy American influence with a Japanese twist. Actually quite stylish. I wonder if the hand-crank provision on that 6 continued on when Datsun took over. I could just see someone hand-cranking their 240Z Fairlady :)
No it didn’t
Dad had one in Australia for several years, his only complaint was the under powered 2 litre six.
Still, cool to hear. Thanks
@@wasabicars And it always turned heads with all that chrome and dual headlights, people would ask what it was.
this very curious ignition crank!
Wuzzuper bro luv the ride looks just like a ford falcon here in cali it needs trues and vouges.
;-)
What a cool looking car. I really like the old Glorias! It almost needs wide white walls on it. Did Japan ever go through the wide white wall phase like the US?
Kind of. I've seen smaller & older cars with white, plastic disks to replicate the look. This car for example: ua-cam.com/video/P-sVVKzJO0s/v-deo.html
WasabiCars They sell those in the US as well. There was a time when real wide white walls weren't available, so owners of classic cars made do with white discs.
I LOVE how this looks like an old Chrysler. Sort of "meh" on the black one.
What's with the hand cranking though?
Crank start now that is cool.
Reminds me of a great Hoodoo Gurus album.
You mentioned Toyota name!
Prince was a company joined Nissan, isn't it?
Yes, there is a Prince Gloria at the Toyota Automobile Museum. And, yes. Prince was a company that became part of Nissan.
このエンジンは４バレルキャブを使って、性能は抜群だったと思います（燃費がネックで販売不振に）
Most of the Glorias you show are 4cylinder, no? I would have expected the inline 6 in that beautiful white 65?? Convertible but even that had a 4 cylinder i thought .
高級車路線を明確にした2代目モデル
Every time i see this cars i like them more. Hachimaki? I got one, they are cool for some reason. :D
You do? Hahaha. Hey, did you enter the competition? I've had a quick look through the entries and couldn't find any..
Oh sure i did! I think you uploaded the video 5 minutes before i got in the competition so i guess i was one of the first guys that filled up the (survey?) it could be maybe because i used my very personal e-mail probably :)
taunusv4power Did you write your name as "Walter"?
Of course, oh wait, i didn't filled my full name i mean, just my first and last name, not the maternal one :\
taunusv4power Hmmm.. I've checked your first name, last name & UA-cam name and can't see anything. Did you type "taunusv4power"?
no Q of the day ok,most of my early cars had a hand crank very useful in the winter when the batteries where flat. :)
Omg. Flat batteries didn't even cross my mind. Doh! Sorry, no QOTD. Next time.
Nice vids as always :)
Is there any American 4x4s that you have seen. If so maybe a video or two.
Cool! Funny T-Shirt you are wearing! What brand is it?
I saw a prince engine for sale on yahoo auctions that peaked my interest. I was said to be from a gloria or skyline. Described as an L20 and had a "rare kamaboko" head on it. kamaboko means rounded so i'm assuming rounded combustion chambers? . was this their attempt at a hemi head? the spark plugs were not in the center however.
I think I know the one. (If it's the same as the one as I think it is...) Not hemi head. Just has bolts holding the cam cover down in a more central location as opposed to at the edges. My guess would be very early Nissan Skyline GT. 1968? 1969?
@@wasabicars prince g7 engine series. 66-69. Yes i think you're right. Its named for the outside valve cover shape. That makes more sense. I've seen them in hako's with aluminum oil pans and triple carbs so i thought maybe they were experimenting trying to get more performance
Nice car danny, but can you guide me to some info on prince motors?
Check this out: www.nissan-global.com/EN/HERITAGE/prince.html
The one I bought had the steering wheel on the left like American cars.
I wonder if it was sold new somewhere in Europe though... Just an idea. Mind you, some Prince vehicles did go to the US
At first glance I thought it was an early '60s Ford Fairlane. Silly me.
We didn't get early 60's Ford Fairlanes in Australia, but when I first saw one, it reminded me of the early 60's Ford Falcons (which we did get.)
WasabiCars definitely see Ford Falcon in there.. On a different note, still excitedly waiting for some Wasabi Cars stickers!
Have you not come across a Honda civic ef9 sir ?
Not often. Maybe I've seen one or two. Side note. While I do feature newer cars, I mainly feature old, steel-bumpered cars. I am truly clueless about newer cars. I actually had to google "ef9 sir".
Hand crank starting a 6 cylinder for such a small man is pretty amazing!
Thanks for sharing! I love the looks of this Prince Gloria. Definitely would fit with any 50s retro interior and when I searched for hachimaki gloria (ハチマキグロリア) I found some very pretty photos. I can't wait to see footage when you finally catch the station wagon of this car, as I like the one in this minkara page very much:
minkara.carview.co.jp/en/userid/1645075/car/1221578/3499974/photo.aspx
It really looks like a giant 1950s bathtub on wheels. :)

Actually being its only a 2 litre with low compression its probably not too hard to crank
over. Having 3 firing cycles per revolution likely makes it easier to kick over
I have a wagon version of this
This generation Gloria??? Very cool!
OHH! hatimaki Gloria or Flatdeck Groria common name
Thank for that information. I appreciate it
Cool.. This was just an option incase of starter failure right?
Sorry, I don't know the specifics. If I see the owner again, I will ask.
Alright Cheers. Its strange if it was purely crank start in 63 though. I'd say it was a fail safe.
I liked this vid
Thanks ;-)
WasabiCars Your welcome
WasabiCars Hope you can show more awesome cars
pak hang Ho Daniel, where can you buy the toy cars that you are giving away?
WasabiCars And how much???
Crankingのとき、Bumperが凹み（Hekomi）そうで心配になる・・
you do not think that fully 60 have a car as a starter crank is synonymous with weakness to Japan then? because the other vehicle producing countries in the world have had such ignition already know it
I'm sorry. I don't know much about the technical aspe3cts of the car. I think it could be there in case the starter motor fails. I cannot be certain though.
I have one do you want to but
I had a car that had a crank start to but it wasa lads nova and boy was that unreliable haha
Do you mean Lada? But even then, they can't be so old... :/
I am the first one to watch this vid
