The fourth generation Skyline C110 series, nicknamed Kenmeri, was born in September 1972 after a full model change of its great predecessor, the C10 series. From the time of its launch, two young men and women, "Ken and Mary," were used as the characters in the commercials, and their romantic and humane stories became very popular among people of all ages, eventually becoming a social phenomenon. The Kenmeri car itself was a big hit, but so was the merchandise that was produced to go with it, with more than 300,000 T-shirts sold. The Kenmeri, with its basic style of long nose and short deck, four round taillights, surfing lines, horizontal pointer meters, and other Skyline identities, became the biggest hit of all time, with a total production of over 670,000 units.
