1987 Nissan Be-1

The standout vehicle is a classic 1987 Nissan Be-1, produced in Japan during the height of the compact car boom. This distinctive ride, known for its stylish and playful design, made a significant impact on its home market but was unfortunately never officially exported to the United States. The Be-1, which translates to 'Be' as in 'beautiful,' indeed showcases a unique beauty with its curvy lines and youthful appeal. It's powered by a peppy 987cc inline-four engine, mated to a four-speed manual or automatic transmission. With its petite proportions measuring at just under 12 feet in length, 4.5 feet in width, and standing at around 3.5 feet tall, the Be-1 offers agile handling and easy parking, perfect for urban environments like Stevens Point, Wisconsin, where this specific example is located. Despite its small size, the Be-1 boasts a spacious cabin that comfortably seats four adults while providing ample boot space, making it an practical choice for city driving, even by today's standards.
