1987 Nissan Be-1

Based on a "nostalgic modern" concept, the Be-1 design was well balanced, using rounded features typified by the headlights.
The concept extended to the cabin interior, with its full-cloth knit upholstery and round ventilation grilles combining comfort and fun.
Notable was its use of recyclable thermoplastic resin (a world first). The canvas top version was launched in March 1987.
