Prince Motor Company was a Japanese automobile manufacturer from 1952 until its merger with Nissan in 1966.
The first one is the Prince Gloria 59-63 model . On June 1963, the first mass produced SOHC 6 cylinder engine was introduced,and was installed in the Gloria Super 6.
The second one is the Nissan (Prince) Gloria S30 62-67 with l4 and l6 engines
The third one is the Nissan (Prince) Gloria A30 67-71 with l4 and l6 engines
April 1967 saw a restyle of the bodywork, and all Prince vehicles were now known as Nissans
They might have sold well here ?
These cars mimicked American styling better than the English or German cars of the day Opel , Vauxhaul, and Ford ( Englaand )

First one looks like a '58 Chev...second two are Rambleresque...last two look like a happy marriage of a Rambler Rebel and a Ford Fairlane:) Neat!
 
The ones I like are the "360" class of cars-Engines can be no larger than 360 CCs, which means 2 or 3 cylinders, & TINY overall dimensions. However, they get big insurance discounts, & are legally able to go faster than other classes of cars...
 
I've seen a couple kei trucks, but in MA you can't drive them on the road. I like how some states have legalized them in a limited way. Would be fun to bop around town in.
