1982-Present Nissan AD Wagon

Ever wonder what happened to the Pulsar/Sunny overseas? Here's one answer; the AD. Designed for and sold in Japan, New Zealand, Australia and other, smaller, foreign lands, the AD is a cheapo wagon for those folks that don't want for much. Among other interesting nameplates, it was also called the Wingroad and there were several trim levels with great names like Sport Acapello. Here's a video featuring a third (there have been 4 so far) generation strippy version. There aren't even wheel covers on it! But there does appear to be AC, which I suppose is necessary in the Caribbean. But is that a speaker in the stereo?

  1. Well, I guess if you look up "basic transportation", this is what you will find. Kind of reminds me of my old 1972 Datsun 510 wagon.

    I spotted a couple of interesting features: on the back of the rear seat, that looks like a bar to prevent cargo sliding forward when everything is folded down (nice!); and is that a map pocket sewn into the FRONT of the passenger seat? If so, not a bad idea either.

    Cannot forget to mention the sea-sickness-inducing cinematography.
