Brand history
The Prince Motor Company, established in 1952, was a renowned Japanese automobile brand known for its luxury vehicles and contributions to motorsport. It originated from the Tachikawa Aircraft Company, a manufacturer of military aircraft during World War II. After the war, the company diversified into automobile production, notably creating the Tama electric car in 1946. In 1952, the company changed its name to Prince to honor the investiture of Crown Prince Akihito. Among its iconic models was the Gloria, a luxury sedan produced in 1962. In 1966, Prince merged with Nissan, but its models continued to be produced under the Nissan brand. (nissan-global.com)
