Datsun is an automobile brand owned by Nissan. Datsun's original production run began in 1931. From 1958 to 1986, only vehicles exported by Nissan were identified as Datsun. In 1986, Nissan phased out the Datsun name but re-launched it in 2013 as the brand for low-cost vehicles manufactured for emerging markets.
In 1931, Dat Motorcar Co. chose to name its new small car "Datson", a name which indicated the new car's smaller size when compared to the DAT's larger vehicle already in production. When Nissan took control of DAT in 1934, the name "Datson" was changed to "Datsun", because "son" also means "loss" (損 Son) in Japanese and also to honor the sun depicted in the national flag. Nissan phased out the Datsun brand in March 1986. The Datsun name is most famous for the 510, Fairlady roadsters, and later the Fairlady (240Z) coupes.
Datsun entered the American market in 1958, with sales in California. By 1959, the company had dealers across the U.S. and began selling the 310 (known as Bluebird domestically). From 1962 to 1969 the Nissan Patrol utility vehicle was sold in the United States (as a competitor to the Toyota Land Cruiser J40 series), making it the only Nissan-badged product sold in the USA prior to that name's introduction worldwide decades later.
From 1960 on, exports and production continued to grow. A new plant was built at Oppama, south of Yokohama; it opened in 1962. The next year, Bluebird sales first topped 200,000, and exports touched 100,000. By 1964, Bluebird was being built at 10,000 cars a month.
For 1966, Datsun debuted the 1000, allowing owners of 360 cc (22 cu in) kei cars to move up to something bigger. That same year, Datsun won the East African Safari Rally and merged with Prince Motors, giving the company the Skyline model range, as well as a test track at Murayama.
The company introduced the Bluebird 510 in 1967. This was followed in 1968 with the iconic 240Z, which proved affordable sports cars could be built and sold profitably: it was soon the world's #1-selling sports car. It relied on an engine based on the Bluebird and used Bluebird suspension components. It would go on to two outright wins in the East African Rally.
Katayama was made Vice President of the Nissan North American subsidiary in 1960, and as long as he was involved in decision making, both as North American Vice President from 1960 to 1965, and then President of Nissan Motor Company U.S.A. from 1965 to 1975, the cars were sold as Datsuns. “What we need to do is improve our car’s efficiency gradually and creep up slowly before others notice. Then, before Detroit realizes it, we will have become an excellent car maker, and the customers will think so too. If we work hard to sell our own cars, we won’t be bothered by whatever the other manufacturers do. If all we do is worry about the other cars in the race, we will definitely lose.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

My favorites where the 1600 Roadster, 1976 280Z fir higher compression, aggressive camshaft grind (Lost in 1977), the Nissan Patrol (Outside the US only) and the V8 Presidential, never sent to the US either, but ending with the 620 Datsun pickup. Still have the 1600 Roadster, as I worked at the dealer. I saw the “B210” come in for service with over 300k miles and can not forget to say the 510 Sedan was one tough son of a gun.

Ya know how Datsun came to America? In Tokyo Japan, the executives where sitting at the meeting table with the president at the head. And a large pile of sushi and drinks in the middle in which the executives where eating. The president going around asking different members what they should name the new line of autos for the American market in which majority of the names displeases the president. 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? The president replied in less than a day! And a lowly executive in the corner of the table looking from his plate with a mouth full of sushi with wide eyes said DAT-SOON?? The rest is history -- Datsun Motors, Tokyo Japan Thanks I didn't want this joke to be lost forever

Mom and Dad bought a 1975 Mediterranean Blue B210 in 1975. It was a 4-speed stick shift with 4 doors. No Radio and they had air conditioning added at the dealership. I think the total price was $3600. We used it for Our Family Car for 9 years. Then I was old enough to drive, so they gave it to Me. I wish I had kept it. They bought a 1984 Dodge Aries, Big Mistake, and later they got Me a 1985 Plymouth Reliant, and traded The Datsun B-210 for it. Another Big Mistake. Even on it's worst day, the Datsun was Millions better in quality an reliability than those Killer K Cars.

Interesting video. Funny mixture of some US specs models and European market model names. Video is also showing some models that were not exported to US. Possibly European production. 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.)

Sold that in 98 to my b-i-l with 286k on it. Still in service today. Bought a Sentra then. And a Frontier. Traded that in 2005 for a d40 cc v6 Auto. Sold that in 2014 and bought a d40 ex cab v6. Bought a Camry in 2013 that I traded for the d40 I now have. Never had any probs other than a faulty fpg under warranty. All have been bulletproof!

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.

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

twoeightythreez Yeah, I picked up on that too. I think DAT was financially owned by a single owner, so the vid starts when DAT becomes the Datsun corporation.

Back in the mid 80s I drove from Glendale California to New York City exactly to ß Madison avenue, I did that on about 3 days with a friend of mine on a 1969 1.6 liter Station wagon Datsun, it had some extra gadgets like 5 custom Enkey Rims gold inside silver rims all aluminum. Nice electric sunroof, custom engine oil cooler modified suspension racing seats one of the best sound systems, air conditioning, nothing to look ugly or exaggerated or ridiculous, just a very fine and nice looking Japanese engineering, it took us 3 days to do that, every time we cross the welcome to state line we take a picture, the care give us cero nothing of a problems, extremely reliable cars. It was white and like I said, wherever we stop to refueling they all say nice car, Kool ride nice wheels etc. Too bad I had to be back to LA cause of a emergency on a big piece of equipment, I've use to be a grading engineer for a demolition excavation and grading company. One day I had a call from the sister of my do called friend, the punk went out drinking and totalled. ,Back then 15 K was a lot of money 😵😵😵😵😵

We had a 180b sedan..then a 1000 utility..my sister a 1200 sedan..me a 1200 sedan..then 120y ...then a78 model 200b wagon. The only problems were the wagon needed5th gear as it was only a 4speed and with a 4.11 or similar diff with close to 4000 at 100klm per hour. All were amazing hard workers without ever any major breakage. Although my 73 Datsun 1200 would handle strange when the needle was at 100mph. Along came a 720 recently that I couldn't pass. What a work horse that was. 1800 motor and 4on the column. Rust beat it on the coast

Always have and will love the peak of Datsun/Nissan I grew up in the early 2000s with nothing but Nissans till my teenage years, mum had a 910 bluebird, r31 skyline and (step dads car) a d21 Navara which all in a way shaped me to have the taste in cars what I have Currently I daily a R31 Pintara wagon and my fun car is a 910 Bluebird wagon, before those I’ve had a nice number of other Nissans what include x3 R31 Skylines x1 R34 Skyline x1 D21 Navara x2 910 Bluebirds (still with my original) x1 R31 Pintara I just can’t keep away from Nissans peak of the 80s, plus that one late 90s skyline
