NISSAN Be-1 Canvas Top(1987: BK10)

"Be-1" was exhibited as reference at the 26th Tokyo Motor Show in 1985. Its concept was "Coziness-oriented Car". The car body was based on the first generation March K10, but its styling and interior reminded people of good old cars.
The name come from "Plan B-1". When the model was rolled out with a production limit of 10,000 in January 1987, more than 10,000 orders were made and buyers were decided by lottery. Be-1 triggered the production of Nissan Pike Car Series of PAO and FIGARO. The meaning of the word "pike" was "edgy", and pike cars were highly unique cars that were manufactured by limited small volume.
