Nissan Be-1

The Nissan Be-1 is a retro two-door sedan made by Nissan in Japan from 1987 to 1988. Its weirdest quirk: Nissan sold it with no Nissan branding at all, and only to people who'd reserved one.

The first of Nissan's Pike cars: a Micra underneath with a cartoon-retro body on top. It was sold without any Nissan badges, by reservation only, in Japan only.
