Welcome To Minot, Nissan!

The day is finally here!  Ryan Family Dealerships is proud to offer the Nissan brand to the Minot area.  Located right next to Magic City RV, we are proud to offer a full Nissan lineup.  We thought it would be fun to dig up some fun, fast facts on our new Nissan brand.  Enjoy!

• The Nissan company was founded in 1933.
• The name “Nissan” was derived from the original trading symbol/ticker.  The company was originally called Nihon Sangyo but it traded as NiSan.  The company loved the name and eventually changed it accordingly.
• The first and original Nissan vehicle was called the Datsun.
• In 1937, Nissan was one of the first companies to shoot a vehicle commercial in full color.
• Nissan developed their first electric, zero emission vehicle in 1947.  It was called the Tama.
• 1969 marked the year Nissan created and produced the Datsun Z, their first sports car.
• The first Nissan plant was built in the United States in the early 1980’s in Tennessee.
• Nissan created their first minivan in 1982, the Prairie.
• The Nissan Leaf was the first mass produced, 100% electric vehicle with zero emissions.

We are very proud and honored to offer such a wonderful, reliable vehicle to the Minot area.  Nissan has a proven history of safety, fuel efficiency and style.  Swing by our new store to drive a great Nissan sedan, SUV or truck.
