The Datsun PL510, produced from 1968 to 1973, is a compact sedan that marked a significant step forward for the Japanese automaker. It was the first Datsun model to be sold in the United States under the "Datsun" name, rather than the former "Nissan" branding. The PL510 was designed to appeal to American consumers seeking a reliable and affordable alternative to the domestic offerings of the time. Building on the success of its predecessor, the 1600, the PL510 offered a more refined and spacious interior, with improved comfort and amenities.

The PL510's success was built on a combination of factors. Its attractive styling, with its low-slung profile and sharp lines, resonated with American buyers. The car also boasted a robust and fuel-efficient 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with a four-speed manual transmission, offering a smooth and responsive driving experience. The PL510's affordability and practicality, combined with its reliability and performance, made it a popular choice for families and young professionals alike. Over time, the PL510 evolved, with updates including a new 1.8-liter engine option and a more refined suspension system. The PL510's legacy lives on today, as it is considered a classic automobile, known for its iconic design, driving dynamics, and historical significance in the rise of Japanese car manufacturing.
