A Quick History - Nissan
 |
| Nissan Logo |
Nissan is a car manufacturer in Japan
and is currently the 6th largest in the world. Nissan was
originally founded as Kwaishinsha Motor Car Works by Masujior
Hashimoto in 1911. Throughout the years, it would undergo several
name changes (including variations of the original name and of DAT)
to reach the brand name of Nissan and underwent several merges to
become the company it is today.
 |
| 1914 Nissan DAT |
In 1914, their first car, DAT, was
revealed. D.A.T were the last name initials of the original
investors. DAT went on to build trucks and passenger cars. In 1931,
the unveiled the smaller car known as Datson or “Son of DAT”.
When Nissan took control, they changed the name to Datsun, as “son”
can mean “loss” in Japanese. Nippon Sangyo was a holding company
founded in 1928 and the abbreviation was Nissan. The name stuck and
Nissan motor was founded in 1934.
Throughout World War II, Nissan built
trucks, airplanes, and engines for the Japanese military. When the
land the factory was on was captured, they moved the plant to China
where they made machinery. This continued until the plant was
captured by the Americans and Russians.
 |
| 1958 Nissan Datsun 210 |
In 1950s, Nissan wanted to expand their
market and they turned to the Datsun to do so. The smaller economy
car would reach unmet demands in both Australia and United States.
With improved designs, by the 70s, they became one of the largest car
exporters in the world.
 |
| 1960s Nissan Patrol |
The 1973 oil crisis was actually a boom
for Nissan as the demand for smaller, more fuel efficient cars rose
dramatically. They actually had to build factories around the world
to meet the demand. Throughout the last thirty years, Nissan
continued to open several other plants in new countries.
They partnered with Ford in 1993 to
2002 and are currently in an alliance with Renault S.A of France.

A Quick History - Mitsubishi
 |
| Mitsubishi Logo |
 |
| 1917 Mitsubishi Model A |
The cars' origins date back to 1917,
with the debut of the Model A. It was a hand built sedan considered
expensive when compared to the mass produced competition. It was
discontinued in 1921 when only twenty two had been built.
Several companies merged with
Mitsubishi in the following years to make it the company it is today.
In 1937, they developed a sedan for military use and aircraft
throughout the war. Afterward, they returned to vehicles with buses,
cargo vehicles, and a scooter.
 |
| 1937 Mitsubishi PX33 |
Finally in the 1960s, Japan was ready
for family driving, with the economy rising and wages increasing.
Mitsubishi saw this and introduced the Mitsubishi 500 sedan, with
several new designs in the next few years.
 |
| Mitsubishi 500 |
In 1971, the company forged alliance
with Chrysler to sell in the United States under the Dodge name.
Sales increased throughout Europe and annual production continued to
increase throughout the next few years. By 1980, million cars were
produced and in 1989, 1.5 million. But Chrysler was running into
problems. Tensions had arose between the two companies as Chrysler
felt Mitsubishi was in Chrysler's market.
 |
| 1982 Mitsubishi Colt |
In 1982, Mitsubishi sold under their
name for the first time within the United States. Just over ten years
later, Chrysler got rid of its shares in Mitsubishi and they
currently only share by contract. In recent years, Mitsubishi has
also had alliances with Volvo, Hyundai, Citroen, and others.

A Quick History - Cadillac
 |
| Cadillac Logo |
Cadillac is currently owned by GM and
is the second oldest manufacturer in US behind Buick. It was formed
from the remains of Henry Ford Company when Henry Ford left in 1902.
The company was renamed after the French explorer Antoine Laumet de
la Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, the founder of Detroit.
 |
| 1912 Cadillac Roadster |
In 1909, GM purchased the company and
devoted Cadillac to producing large luxury vehicles. They also
produced commercial cars such as limos, ambulances, and hearses. The Cadillac was known for great
manufacturing and reliability. In 1912, they were the first to
introduce an electrical system with starting, ignition, and lighting.
 |
| 1940 Cadillac 90 |
The Great Depression hit Cadillac hard
and they lost 84% of sales. However, a change in policy was urged by
Nick Dreystadt. Prior to 1934, Cadillac discouraged sales to African
Americans. With this change, sales shot up 70%. Dreystadt was
promoted to the head of the entire Cadillac division.
 |
| 1970 Cadillac Coupe DeVille |
Sales continued to rise throughout the
years. In the 1970s, they were greatly known for the luxury they
