Datsun History 1930s to 1970s

[@Devilsgreedybelly]

Driving my Datsun 620 (1976) has helped me to understand another reason why society has become so impatient, vehicles have become so fast and easily accessible in every way in order to make life easier and quicker Driving my old girl has given me a glimpse of the pace in 76, it's slower less hurried and steady It's definitely in no rush, and a valuable lesson as I turn 40 this year, I'm going to slow down and be in less of a hurry through life. Thank you Datsun it's a wonderful truck and brings me much joy in 2021.

I used to ride out every other year with my Dad to Sterling Colorado to "Connie's Datsun" and get a new pickup. He had a mail route and they stood the test of time & rough miles!

[@adeolaojomo7123]

My father had a Datsun Bluebird in the 1980’s. We all loved the car back then & served our family for many years

[@davidmcgowen4594]

I was a Datsun apprentice mechanic from 1973 to 1977 then a tradesman to 1979. The 1600 is one of my favorite cars of all time. Bullet proof. Funny - Datsun always came to market with an outstanding car then destroyed it in subsequent face lifts and "improvements": The 180B wasn't a patch on the 1600 and the 200B . . . well that was just a dog. But they were simple, reliable cars.

My dad bought a B210 (120Y) new in 1975. That was a great little car. Reliable, easy on fuel and a cinch to fix. I kind of lamented by dad selling that car after 25 years of great service. The only thing I didn't like about it was the paint, it would oxidize if you looked at it wrong. Wish we still had that little car.

[@danbasta3677]

I liked the Datsun 520 series trucks to. Every so many years, about the half of year, the Japanese change their model years in the half of season. The 520's were from 1965 till 1972 and a half when the 620's were introduced that lasted till 1979 and a half when the 720's were introduced, which lasted till 1986 and a half when the D21 series was introduced until 1997 and a half when the Nissan Frontier was introduced. In 1980, you saw a lot of Datsun trucks running around saying Datsun by Nissan and Nissan by Datsun as they were changing their names gradually from Datsun to Nissan, because many years prior, the Datsun name sold much better than Nissan, yet, if you pulled the hood of any Datsun, the head said, Nissan on it.

[@Wilantonjakov]

Bought my first car about two years ago which was a '76 Bluebird (known as '180B' here in Australia, 'Bluebird-U' in Japan and '610' in the US). haven't had a single problem since and it's fun to drive albeit a little wafty - an understatement. It's an auto but still feels more mechanical than most modern manuals. Not that there are many of them anyway.

My father bought me a 1976 280z when I was 12 years old in 2002, we lived out in the country and I drove it on all the backroads. Loved that car and started restoring it but sadly the rust got the best of the car. I ended up buying a 76 280z 2+2 in 2003 with money I earned mowing yards. I had planned to restore it but life got in the way with college and relocation. Well, last week I finally bought another 76 280z 2+2 from a salvage yard that I'm going to definitely hang onto and restore. All model Datsuns are special to me and I will always have that fun memory of my dad pulling up in a 280z as a surprise and handing me the keys, great memory.

actually Datsun can trace its roots to around 1917, a company called DAT, which reformed into "Datsun". 1932 was when the Japanese govt merged them with Nissan. Then in 1966 Prince Motor Company was merged with Nissan. Prince is who brought us the Skyline

One member asked how many can we produce in a day? The president leaning back in his chair said 100,000 units a day. And another asked how soon can we get them to America?

In Europe Datsun name started to fade out in 1983 when new cars were called Datsun-Nissan. Later only Nissan. In Japan I believe both names were in use pre-1982. Some model series were under brand name Nissan, some under brand name Datsun. (Nissan Cherry, Datsun Sunny etc.)

In the late 70s I worked at a pesticide-spraying outfit outside Chicago. My job was to drive a Datsun pickup with about 1000 pounds of sprayer/Malathion in the back and "fog" Chicago neighborhoods at a constant 10 mph, at night. We had about six of those Datsuns, which held up amazingly well under the tender mercies of young men who didn't own them. I think we seized the engine in one, probably because "I'm sure somebody checked the oil". We had a couple of Bell model 47 helicopters, too, used for spraying remote ponds. They were flown by Vietnam vets who were completely nuts. The gas pumps were in the center of the truck yard and they'd just land by the pumps to fill up, blowing dirt and trash around like a hurricane. Ah, the good old days.

Datsun cars varied much in quality. The 510 was an excellent sedan. With an OHC and IRS when both were largely the domain of exotic sports cars, Nissan incorporated both in an economy car. A poor man's BMW. The same tech made its way into the 240 Z, an outstanding sports car. Then, Nissan went to a live axle in the 510, brought out the 210 that just shouted CHEAP and turned the Z car into an overweight slug. The front wheel drive Datsun F10 was an unreliable POS. But at least it was butt ugly... The Datsun pick up trucks were fine but overall, there was such a long string of losers bearing the badge of Datsun that it comes as no surprise the name was dropped.

[@Vfh........y]

I had a 1980 Datsun 310 that we bought new in Fort Dodge Iowa. If you're talking about the F10 that may be the 310 here. It was the first front wheel drive car to my knowledge that Datsun produced. I hated that car with a passion. Uncomfortable all vinyl would no air conditioning and no power

I'm a 60's 70s muscle car guy, but I can appreciate the old rwd Japanese cars. they kinda had their own cool body style. fwd ruins a cars look in my opinion, including the Tornado and Cadillac

I respect the mechanical marvel that FWD--longitudinal or transverse engine-mounting--happens to be, but it does make for a boring driving machine. There's a reason you don't see FWD sports-cars, folks! As for the styling, I don't see how being FWD, RWD or AWD effects how good a car looks. I've seen plenty of cars that I thought looked good, but got bummed-out when I learned they're FWD... But it doesn't stop them from looking good!
