Datsun 510

Initially released in 1968, the Datsun 510 is a feat of international proportions. The vehicle of choice of many Americans in the ’60s, the 510 was assembled in three different continents and five different countries, including Japan, New Zealand, and Mexico.

A two/four-door sedan, the Datsun 510 featured an efficient 1.3L Nissan L-series I4 engine and served multiple purposes. In the streets, it was a car you could trust to take you anywhere. On the track, it was a racing champion that landed two Australian Rally Championship first places in the early ’80s. Commercially produced up until 1973, the Datsun 510 paved the way for other Nissan top-selling vehicles.
