FactPrince rushed its Grand Gloria power windows out just before the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, timing the flagship to the world's cameras.
The second-generation Gloria, introduced in 1962 as the first six-cylinder Prince, alongside an updated four. In June 1963 the G-7, the first mass-produced Japanese SOHC six-cylinder engine, was installed in the Gloria Super 6 (S41). It had independent front suspension and a de Dion tube at the back, and in May 1964 the Grand Gloria S44P added power windows and the new 2.5-litre engine, just before the 1964 Olympics. It went on sale in Finland in April 1965.

The first Gloria wore Dagmar-style front bumpers copied straight from American cars, plus gold letters spelling PRINCE across the grille.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
It briefly served as senior sibling to Marquette, a GM companion brand cancelled after just one year.
Nissan hired former BMW engineers to help develop the 510's suspension, which is why period reviewers frequently compared its handling to the BMW 1600/2002.
A Trabant 601 won its class at the 1970 Monte Carlo Rally, with a second 601 right behind it in second.
The 600 was a stopgap: the P50's body over the 601's mechanicals, and for a while its estate was built alongside the new 601 saloon.
The G80 Sport brought a 370 PS twin-turbo 3.3 V6, a mesh grille and copper-tinted chrome with copper stitching to match.
The Vigor was sold only with a five-cylinder engine, an unusual configuration Honda used to fit a longer engine transversely under a short hood.
The GS/E coupe earned the nickname "German Charger" for its long hood, short deck stance borrowed from Detroit muscle cars.
This DeVille/Fleetwood was the first production car anywhere to mount its V8 sideways, Cadillac's front-drive gamble on the new C-body.
