The Skyline not always was a monster. How about this 1960 treat, first shown at the 1960 Turin Motor Show? According to Nissan in two years time, some 60 were built, including a handful convertibles.

I think that, especially after the remark of PG1964, Carrozzeria Michelotti did not have the capacity to built 60 cars.
Exactly. That's why I asked. But it could also be possible that the body production was outsourced to another coachbuilder, like Michelotti often did with Vignale, Allemano, etc...
The 2 litre car was the first one in which I exceeded 120 mph, considered very fast forty two years ago. Superficialy the engine appeared to be a copy of the ubiquitous M180 Mercedes-Benz motor, but with three twin choke Weber carburettors rather than fuel injection.
