Datsun In the 1960s

[@signorpippistrello]

Despite the music nobody gets shot in the ENTIRE video!

[@craigmclean8260]

Fun to see this production...I grew up w/ Datsuns in my family, in the D.C. area; my Grandad had one of the first Datsun dealerships on the East Coast. We had a number of the early Bluebird models, a '59 210, '62 310 sedan, '65 410 sedan (in lovely minty green), '67 412 "SSS" wagon, and three 510s. We also had what must've been one of the few '65 Cedrics in the States, a slate-blue sedan, belonging to my Grandmom. Always coveted a 240/260-Z; never got around to it, alas...

[@jamesanderton344]

You can see the Prince styling in the bigger cars.....the 1600 was a breakthrough car.....independent rear suspension and a powerful engine. Many class wins in sedan racing.

this is when datsun car's had character, not like nissan's of today that look like shitty renaults.

I am a foreigner - non-American/non-Canadian - here, but I could just say with Hyundai/Kia already booming with themselves - while overtaking and inheriting Nissan's reputation - means Nissan should/could have replace Renault with Hyundai as their owner/mentor/parts supplier/technical assistant. But, when Nissan already merged with Hyundai/Kia [from Renault's control] could mean for Hyundai to treat Nissan like Opel for the sake of rebadging and selling their cars under the 'Vauxhall'' nameplate in the [Brexit-batterred] United Kingdom. That kind of idea/lesson both Hyundai/Kia and Nissan could learn from the Europeans/Britons, which means Nissan under Hyundai's control could lead Nissan to be restricted to the Japanese market, while Hyundai/Kia is restricted to the Korean market as well. As given by the fact that both Japan and Korea still have tensions shared with each other, which was stemmed from Japan's control and invasion of the Korean Peninsula from 1910 to 1945. So, while Nissan spends time at Hyundai's umbrella in addition to licencing and swapping parts from/with Hyundai/Kia vehicles means for Nissan to lose more money, hence resulting them [Nissan] to close down factories in the USA, thus withdraw from the Chinese market in exchange for boosting their sales in India, where Hyundai is booming in deep and Nissan struggles - as their lineup [for the Indian market] only contains fewer models currently...

14:13 A Douglas DC-8-53 passenger plane, registered JA8013, was damaged beyond repair in runway excursion accident at Bombay-Juhu Airport, India. There were no fatalities. The crew were cleared for a visual approach and landing on runway 09 at Bombay's (now named Mumbai) Santacruz Airport. Instead of landing at Santacruz Airport, the airplane touched down on runway 08 of nearby Juhu Airport. The runway length at Juhu just 1143 m, which was insufficient for the airplane to stop. The aircraft overran the runway and went through a ditch. A fire broke out.

[@synthpro]

Nissan will always be my favorite 60s/70s era import cars here in the U.S. Nissan made a smart move as well with the Zcar engine size. There was a hefty fee from what I have read for any car exported from Japan equipped with a engine over 2 liters in size, (this is why most imports only had small 4 cylinder engines) Nissan chose to export the six cylinder L24/26/28, (believe there was also a L20A in some countries) while even the Toyota GT cars still had 4 cylinders, (the six cylinder supra we know wouldn't come until later). This move put Nissan ahead in performance in the states and furthered Nissan into the motorsports scene here which is how they helped with the extra fee for the larger engine size.

Hope iconic Nissan can recapture its glory days again. It needs a bailout from the Japanese government and need to get rid of its present cost cutting renault management that only improved short term profitability. Its a pioneering motor company in japan and deserves its governments assistance to come out of the present crisis. The the Nissan datsun 240z was the car that changed perceptions about Japanese cars forever.

[@awakawiateazrutyialocinadn5207]

I am not an American, Canadian, Indian, and Middle Eastern, but I wish Nissan and Mitsubishi should merge with Hyundai/Kia, they make great cars now than Nissan was used to be... Nissan and Mitsubishi cars with Hyundai's engineering DNA means Nissan could go ahead, thus, destroy the evil cult of Toyota the Corona and Honda for good...

Because, the [Nissan] President is/was only for the Japanese market, that is why most Asian automakers deeply keep a low-profile in the West, because many/half of them, white - specifically non-American/non-Canadian - people, care about mediocre, bland, expensive Nazi sleds - nickname for German cars - and other European cars that half of them neither made it into American roads, apart from garbage Volvo and [dead] Saab.

[@SvenQ45]

The President was also available in some right hand drive markets in Asia. Cedric was available in some European markets but both only in the beginning. 60s and early 70s. And yes German cars, those nice European sportscars... And so on. They all can´t live like a Toyota but everything from the USA and Europe is good. I´m from Germany and I sadly know first hand from magazines and stuff... Only German.

[@awakawiateazrutyialocinadn5207]

And also, because that's what I call as 'white pride'... This is why some Asian - specifically Japanese - marques like Mitsubishi Motors, could not even remake their sports cars - like the 3000GT - from before. Of course, the only reason is because the Japanese government couldn't donate money to that of 'Subaru'. That is why building dangerous and bulkier sports cars for them could make the company die or even lose money. As well as in the case of Nissan when they leave Renault for merging with Hyundai, but doing it could help Nissan make normal Hyundai cars with Nissan badgings being smacked onto.. Also, maybe because of the labour laws in Germany that they could not accept Japanese and Korean marques to assemble cars there, instead they went through the former Eastern Bloc, because labour there is inxepensive than in the western fringe of Europe... The Nissan President you even mentioned earlier was even sold in Russia , as since there are policies against importing Japanese and Korean cars on European soil meant that all of them go to Russia. Because Putin could just want himself to kick some roast beef arse hence Brexit them...

[@leftcrusher]

I wonder why Nissan didn't export Cedric/Gloria/President in USA? Many Japanese automakers have good products but most of them sold in local market. I don't understand

[@spikespiegel5878]

thats something i always wondered too jong my guess is they always save the best for the domestic market

[@stanwbaker]

In the early days, the larger cars would not have been distinctive enough in a market that was ferociously loyal to domestic cars.

[@mebeasensei]

I think that is something many companies do or did. From wine makers to cars - they export a pretty basic model and add a few bits of 'bling' to them to make them more attractive.

[@twoeightythreez]

JONGBUM PARK They did offer Cedric 1964 and 1965 but they sold very poorly....they were very expensive....as in same price range as a Cadillac or Lincoln. Keep in mind in that era that luxury in the USA was directly tied to how large and powerful the car was. The 64 cedric was approximately the size of a chevy II and had a 1.9l 4cyl but cost as much as a Cadillac. So, while they were great cars, it is understandable why they sold poorly in America. This is coming from a Nissan enthusiast.....

[@mebeasensei]

NIce info..You got me curios so I checked up on Chevy II, Cedric and Cadillac for 1964 The Cedric weighed 2734lb with 95HP, Chevy II; 2455lb with 120HP or 150HP (but also had a 90HP four cyl option, and a V8 option with 195HP) , Cadillac Deville Coupe 4430lb with 340 HP. Current Value in 2017: Cedric $1650-$2480, Chevy II $7500 - $12500, Cadillac DeVille $8200-$19200. The Cedric is the winner and a bargain!

[@awakawiateazrutyialocinadn5207]

That was why before they controversially took over Nissan, Renault had the front end of their post-facelift trims of their now-extinct 21 and 25 saloons/estates looking like the base model R32 Skyline that was only for the Japanese market. Especially, only Europeans who could design cars better and not the Americans/Canadians, Japanese, and Koreans. The cars they designed, Toyota and Honda - as well as Subaru - for example, possess designs that are catered for American - not European - and Asian tastes. Also, that is why Nissan made themselves as the fewest Japanese marques not to feel Japanese, I meant that Nissan was also the first from Asia to set up a factory in Europe many decades ago. Now, Hyundai/Kia is booming, and Nissan is dying through Renault's control, the only thing for Nissan to stand ultimately is to merge with Hyundai...

@@awakawiateazrutyialocinadn5207 What are you talking about? Renault hasn't run Nissan into the ground and you hypothesize about Kia or Hyundai taking over Nissan but then tell me that it wouldn't work anyway. Let me tell you something about me. I have lived in China for 12 years. Two of my long term acquaintances have Nissans. One has a 2008 Tiida and a Teana, the other has a 2013 Sunny. Back in the UK, my sister has had two Nissans - a Sunny and a Note. Another friend of mine has had Nissans solely since about for around 20 years. My uncle has had only Nissans since he had a 180B in the 70's. All of them swear by them. They are extremely quiet and bulletproof reliable. I had an excellent impression of the last model Tiida 1.6 T. There was very little to criticize at all. So, less of the accusatory statements. I think they are pretty good. China and Japan heavily practice protectionism in their countries. Japan lost the advantage on its larger more expensive low volume sales cars in the 80's since they didn't sell enough to warrant getting around the import tariffs. Therefore they were expensive and the European competition (for the money) was too strong (and that includes Renault). During the late 80's Nissan made an excellent car for Europe - the (Sunderland built) Bluebird. In my opinion its successor the Primera was absolutely spot on for our market. I hired one in 1998, and it was fantastic. Nissan have struggled in Europe. They sell the Infiniti but you seldom see them. Their market in Europe is mainly focused in the smaller car market. They sold something slightly larger, (my friend has one) but they pulled the plug on it after a short time. As for Renault, I like Renault. The Megane and Clio are exceptionally good cars. If I was to choose a Renault it would be a brand new Megane 1.4 TCE GT estate. Great value for money, sporty and stylish.
