The 1983 Datsun Maxima represents the final chapter of the first-generate Maxima under the "Datsun" nameplate. Positioned as a luxury midsize vehicle, it hit the sweet spot between Japanese reliability and American luxury expectations. It is highly remembered for its advanced technological gimmicks and its smooth inline-six architecture.
The 1983 Maxima was an early-80s tech icon due to its standard Voice Warning System. It utilized a localized phonograph/solid-state sound chip to audibly broadcast a female voice reminding the driver of minor oversights.
The interior targeted downsizing domestic luxury car buyers by offering premium equipment standard.
A one owner car from California, this all original car has been in the Duncan Imports collection for 11 years.
