Is part of the S5 Series Prince Skyline. S50 was 1500cc version (S50D was deluxe, S50S was standard trim), S54 was 2000GT version (S54A was single carb GT-A, S54B was triple weber GT-B). The last of the S50 1500cc versions were recoded as S57 and badged as a Nissan Skyline and had rectangular tail lights, where as all previous Skylines (after the August 1966 Prince/Nissan merger) were still badged as Prince, with a small Nissan badge on the rear, with the Gloria also badged similarly.
