The Datsun 510, produced from 1968 to 1973, was a game-changer for the Japanese automaker, establishing Datsun as a serious contender in the global automotive market. This compact sedan, available in both two- and four-door configurations, was known for its sporty handling, reliable performance, and surprising practicality. The 510's success can be attributed to its well-engineered chassis and powertrains. The car featured a unibody construction, independent suspension on all four wheels, and a choice of 1.6-liter or 1.8-liter four-cylinder engines, delivering a balance of fuel efficiency and spirited acceleration. Its clean, minimalist design, and its available sporty "SSS" trim level with its distinctive black interior and twin carburetors further cemented its reputation as a driver's car. Complementing the 510, Datsun offered a pickup truck variant, aptly named the Datsun 510 Pickup. This rugged workhorse shared the 510's underpinnings and powertrain options, offering a capable platform for both commercial and recreational use. The pickup, while retaining the 510's essential mechanical integrity, featured a sturdy platform bed, emphasizing its utility. Despite its utilitarian purpose, the pickup inherited the 510's stylish design cues, incorporating the characteristic sloping roofline and large, wrap-around rear window. The combination of practicality and subtle styling hints at the 510 pickup's appeal to both farmers and recreational enthusiasts, cementing its place as a versatile and reliable companion for a variety of needs. The 510 and its pickup variant are considered highly sought-after classics today, with their reliable nature, distinct styling, and impressive performance continuing to resonate with enthusiasts worldwide.
