Snail Bait: 1989 Nissan S-Cargo

, , 1

The Nissan S-Cargo is a part of Nissan’s Pike family of vehicles that were sold new in Japan starting in the late 80s and predated the early 2000s retro-style fad (PT Cruiser, Prowler, HHR, SSR etc). The S-Cargo looks like a washing machine with cartoon eyes, but it was a retro styled tribute to the Citroën 2CV Fourgonnette delivery van built on a modern unibody chassis from Nissan. Even the name S-Cargo sounds like Escargot or snail in French. Find this 1989 Nissan S-Cargo offered for $7500 in Fr Lauderdale, FL via freezebrook moohrkante. Tip from John W.

From Wiki

The exterior styling of the S-Cargo was inspired by the Citroën 2CV Fourgonnette delivery van, and interior styling borrowed a Citroën-style single-spoke steering wheel. The name was a double entendre, standing for “Small Cargo” and sounding like “escargot”, the French word for snail, which in turn is a nickname for the Citroën 2CV.

The S-Cargo was introduced at the Tokyo Motor Show in 1989,[1] was originally marketed without Nissan branding and was available by reservation only. Over its two-year production run, 8,000 were produced
