Aoshima brings us the first generation Silvia in 1/24 scale model form!

Aoshima brings us the first generation Silvia in 1/24 scale model form! This car was unveiled as the "Datsun Coupe 1500" at the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show, and went on sale the following year in April 1965.

The beautiful styling was called "crisp cut" because of its sharp body lines with many straight lines and a shape reminiscent of the cut of a jewel.

It also had excellent power performance, and was deployed to the Kanagawa Prefectural Police Traffic Task Force when the Daisan Keihin Road was opened on December 18, 1965.

It attracted attention as Japan's first highway patrol car, and was reported in newspapers and magazines at the time, protecting the safety of the Daisan Keihin Highway with great deterrent power.
