Datsun 510
About

The Datsun 510 was the third generation of the Datsun Bluebird, sold from 1968 to 1973. "510" is Nissan's internal model code but was also used as the car's name in the United States. In Japan it was sold as the Datsun Bluebird, a name also used in some export markets. In most markets outside of Japan the car was sold as the Datsun 1300/1400/1500/1600/1800, although the "Bluebird" would sometimes be referenced in advertising.
