#8 Advertising Wednesday: R31 Street Smart

Above is a advertisement found in magazines for the R31 Nissan Skyline. Now this is actually only half of the full Ad, however I think this crop version looks a lot better, it's even my lockscreen wallpaper. Below is the full advertisement

In the 1980s Nissan was struggling because people saw their cars as boxy and dull, so they did the exact opposite of what most struggling companies did and they went into sports. the R31 did win some races but wasn't very good at it, however it did pave the way for the R32 and it's domination in motorsports.
