In 1966, Nissan merged with the [[Prince Motor Company]], bringing more upmarket cars, including the [[Nissan Skyline|Skyline]] and [[Nissan Gloria|Gloria]], into its selection. The Prince name was eventually abandoned, and successive Skylines and Glorias bore the Nissan name. "Prince" was used at the Japanese Nissan dealership "[[Nissan Motor Company#Japan|Nissan Prince Shop]]" until 1999, when "Nissan Red Stage" replaced it. Nissan Red Stage itself has been replaced as of 2007. The Skyline lives on as the G Series of [[Infiniti]].

To capitalize on the renewed investment during [[1964 Summer Olympics]], Nissan established the gallery on the second and third floors of the San-ai building, located in [[Ginza, Tokyo]]. To attract visitors, Nissan started using beautiful female showroom attendants where Nissan held a competition to choose five candidates as the first class of Nissan Miss Fairladys, modeled after "Datsun Demonstrators" from the 1930s who introduced cars. The Fairlady name was used as a link to the popular Broadway play ''[[My Fair Lady]]'' of the era. Miss Fairladys became the marketers of the [[Datsun 1500, 1600, 2000 Roadster|Datsun Fairlady 1500]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/12/nissan-recalls-the-birth-of-miss-fairlady/ |title=Nissan recalls the birth of Miss Fairlady |website=Autoblog.com |date=12 August 2012 |access-date=10 August 2013 |archive-date=1 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160701203843/http://www.autoblog.com/2012/08/12/nissan-recalls-the-birth-of-miss-fairlady/ |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vehiclepassion.com/2012/08/09/fair-lady-nissan%E2%80%99s-beautiful-showroom-models-video/ |title=Fair Lady: Nissan's beautiful showroom models |website=Vehiclepassion.com |date=9 August 2012 |access-date=10 August 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160327034648/http://www.vehiclepassion.com/2012/08/09/fair-lady-nissan%e2%80%99s-beautiful-showroom-models-video/ |archive-date=27 March 2016 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://reports.nissan-global.com/EN/?p=6299 |title=The Birth of Miss Fairlady |website=Reports.nissan-global.com |access-date=10 August 2013 |archive-date=3 December 2015 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151203143658/http://reports.nissan-global.com/EN/?p=6299 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
