Junkyard Find: 1982 Datsun 280C aka Nissan Cedric

01 - 1982 Nissan Cedric Down On the Junkyard - Picture courtesy of Murilee MartinDuring my trip to Sweden a few months ago, I watched a Volvo 244 triumph at a Folkrace, saw some great restored Detroit iron, and— of course— went to the junkyard. In fact, I went to one of the best junkyards I've ever seen: Bloms Bilskrot, located near the northern town of Söråker. We've taken a detailed look at this 1966 Toyota Crown wagon, this 1963 Ford Taunus 17M, this California-customized 1969 Ford Econoline van, this 1964 Simca 1000, and now it's the turn of a not-sold-in-North-America fifth-generation Nissan Cedric.

The next generation of this car came with a V6 and the endorsement of Jack Nicklaus. Wait, wasn't he supposed to stay loyal to the Isuzu Statesman Deville?
