The Nissan President, a Japanese luxury sedan produced by Nissan from 1965 to 2010, served as the flagship model for the company. Initially targeted as an executive limousine in Japan, it later expanded to limited markets such as Singapore and Hong Kong. Despite being part of the Nissan lineup, it was sold under the Nissan badge rather than the Datsun brand, distinguishing it from other Nissan vehicles of that era.
The first generation of the President, designated as the H150, was launched in October 1965 to replace the Cedric Special as Nissan's premium offering. Exclusive to Nissan Store dealerships in Japan, this model was known for its hand-built construction, large dimensions, and powerful engine, which resulted in higher ownership costs, including steep road taxes.
