Between the years of 1958 to 1986 all exported Nissans went under the make name of Datsun. In 1986 Datsun's parent company, Nissan Motor Company, phased out the make name in favor of itself. Nissan then wanted to start a budget brand in emerging markets, and it decided to use the Datsun name because it still had brand name recognition. In 2020 Nissan found it was losing money and the Covid-19 global pandemic lockdown made the problem worse. Nissan was put in a position where it had to make cuts, and Datsun got cut once again, just as they were trying to promote themselves as an affordable and reliable small car in the emerging markets. Datsun vehicles are affordable, yet offer performance and Japanese reliability. Like the following Datsun vehicles:
1970 Datsun 240Z
The 1970 Datsun 240Z is a two-door coupe which could be considered a sports car. This is because it has a very powerful engine. In the Datsun 240Z it is a 2.4 litre single-overhead cam six engine. The bucket seats are contoured in such a way that you don’t slide around, and are very comfortable, offering ample headroom, legroom and shoulder room and luggage space as well.
1972 Datsun 510 Wagon
The 1972 Datsun 510 Wagon was made at a time when Datsuns were rugged, reliable and easy to maintain without needing a professional mechanic. Being a wagon makes it a good family car. The look is typical of the ‘70s aesthetic, boxy and simple, and this makes it popular with enthusiasts. Those same enthusiasts describe it as fun to drive.
