Nissan Bluebird - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (2271 words)
The Bluebird sold in Europe between 1986 and 1990 was in fact a rebadged Nissan Auster—this was replaced by the Primera in Nissan's European line-up in 1990.
Although Nissan's own materials indicate that the Bluebird name emerged in 1959, some records show that the name first adorned a 988 cm³, 34 hp four-door sedan in 1957, which was part of the company's 210 series.
This model was sold as the Nissan Pintara in Australia, replacing a larger Skyline-based model, from 1989 to 1993.
