The Datsun 520, produced from 1965 to 1968, was a compact car that marked a significant step forward for the Japanese automaker, Datsun (now Nissan). Replacing the earlier Datsun 1000, the 520 offered a more refined and spacious design, contributing to its success in both domestic and international markets. Its engine, a 1.0-liter inline-four, delivered a respectable power output for its time, enabling it to navigate city streets efficiently while also being capable of modest highway cruising. The car's simple yet robust construction, combined with its relatively low price, made it a popular choice for families and businesses alike. It was available in various body styles, including a four-door sedan, a two-door coupe, a station wagon, and a commercial van, catering to a wide range of needs.

The 520's popularity was partly fueled by its reliability and affordability, making it a strong contender against European and American rivals. It was a testament to Datsun's engineering prowess, showcasing their commitment to producing vehicles that were both practical and desirable. The 520 served as a stepping stone for the company, paving the way for future models that would solidify Datsun's reputation as a major player in the global automotive industry. While its production run was relatively short, the Datsun 520 left a lasting mark on the automotive landscape, representing a significant chapter in the history of Japanese car manufacturing. Today, the 520 remains a sought-after classic, appreciated for its nostalgic charm and its role in establishing Datsun's reputation for building dependable and affordable vehicles.
