Nissan Gloria Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1959–1963) — First Generation
The first-generation Nissan Gloria is a classic rear-drive sedan from the early years of Japan's postwar motoring boom, built as a roomy, comfortable car for families, executives and chauffeur duty alike.
The Nissan Gloria engine line-up of this era centred on modest four-cylinder gasoline units, such as the 1.9 MT sedan. Its manual transmission sends drive to the rear wheels, a simple, durable layout that rewards smooth shifting and suits relaxed cruising rather than outright speed.
