The Datsun 610 Series, produced from 1973 to 1976, represented a significant evolution for the Japanese automaker. This generation marked a departure from the more compact, utilitarian Datsun 510 and aimed to compete directly with larger, more luxurious American sedans and coupes. The 610 Series, affectionately nicknamed the "Big Datsun," offered a range of body styles including a two-door hardtop coupe, a four-door sedan, and a two-door wagon. While retaining Datsun's reputation for reliability and affordability, the 610 aimed for a more refined and spacious interior experience. Key features included a longer wheelbase, increased interior room, and a range of engine options, including a powerful 2.0-liter L20B engine for the sporting "SSS" trim level.

Despite its ambitions, the Datsun 610 Series faced stiff competition from established players in the American market. While it earned praise for its comfort, spaciousness, and fuel efficiency, it struggled to gain significant market share. However, the 610 Series laid the groundwork for future Datsun and Nissan models, introducing design elements and engineering advancements that would be refined in subsequent generations. The 610 Series also served as a platform for motorsport success, particularly in rallying, where its robust construction and capable engines proved advantageous. The 610's legacy lies in its contribution to the evolving image of Datsun, transitioning from a budget-friendly brand to a serious competitor in the global automotive market.
