    Back in 2002, I saw an article in VIP Style Cars, a very popular Japanese VIP car magazine only available in Japan, and I saw a picture of a Nissan Y34 Cedric/Gloria with a prototype Junction Produce kit on it. It was low, it was black, and it was just stunning. From that point forward, I was determined to build one here in the US. The problem was, the Cedric/Gloria was never available to US consumers, just in Japan . But in 2003, Infiniti decided to bring this car into the US and brand it the M45. Instead of the turbocharged 6 cylinder that came in the J-Spec Y34 Cedric/Gloria, Infiniti squeezed a 4.5 8 cylinder under the hood and viola, instant muscle car.
    Problem was, the stock body was a face only a mother could love.

    That’s where Junction Produce comes in. The kit for the J-Spec Cedric/Gloria from Junction Produce extended the front bumper closer to the ground, it lowered the side profile and covered up the ugly black side skirts, it added signature door panels to widen up the body, but most importantly, it lowered the rear bumper and smoothed out that lower indentation that many found downright ugly. Now the car has a smoother flow, but still maintains the muscular, squared off look. Now I’m hooked…..now I can buy one.

    After many emails, and many AIM conversations with the Junction Produce home office in Osaka, I finally persuaded the overseas sales manager to allow me to build a demo car here in the US. Over the years, I’ve become friends with many of the staff over at Junction Produce, even having them over to my humble home when visiting the east coast. The mystique, the intrigue, the grand presentation, are all part of the Junction Produce name….and they live up to the image while remaining to be the most down to earth people in the industry!
