When I was about ten, my Dad used to have this incredible looking Nissan Maxima with some pretty decent Maxima Wheel Covers to go with it. I absolutely loved that car. When the lease was over on the car, you can say I was crying for a week - well not literally, but I was complaining about it.
The very first Nissan Maxima was recorded to be debuted as the very high-end trim level of the original 1976 Bluebird. It really wasn't until 1975 that the Nissan Maxima released itself and finally made its own name as a separate model. As you can probably tell, the Nissan Maxima and Maxima Hubcaps have gone through a lot of changes-and when I say a lot I really mean a lot. All of the changes that were made were done because Nissan wanted to make sure that the Maxima appealed to everyone's needs: it can be a fancy sports car or a nice family car. Up to now, the Nissan Maxima is one of the few longest-running mid-size sedans that is available on the American automobile market.
Even if the Maxima did start out as an almost cheap looking and boxy two-door coupe, it has been transformed to this great car that's categorized as muscular, sporty, and affordable. There was a complete redesign that was scheduled for the 2009 model year, and even then, the Maxima with the Maxima Wheel Covers is still one of the most affordable luxury cars that you can buy at the Nissan lot.
From the years of 1976-1979, the Nissan Maxima was commonly known here in the United States as a different trim level of the original Datsun 810. The Europeans who bought the vehicle knew the Maxima just as a different version of the Bluebird. By this time, the name "Maxima" was only known in the European market; in 1982, Nissan finally introduced the 810 model Maxima to the United States. This model that was in the U.S. included a 2.4L l6 and the consumers had the option of either a 5-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission; not to mention it had those fancy Maxima Wheel Covers already standard when you bought the car.
