The Datsun PL510, affectionately nicknamed the "510," was a compact sedan produced by Nissan from 1968 to 1973. It was a significant model for Datsun (now Nissan), marking a shift towards more modern and sophisticated design and engineering. While its predecessor, the Bluebird 510, was primarily a rebadged Austin A55 Cambridge, the PL510 was entirely original, featuring a distinctive, sharper-edged styling, a more robust chassis, and advanced features for its time. This evolution, coupled with its rugged reliability and affordability, propelled the 510 to international acclaim, becoming a popular choice for both everyday drivers and enthusiasts. The PL510 was powered by a range of four-cylinder engines, starting with the 1.3-liter A12 unit, known for its smooth performance. Later models offered the larger 1.6-liter A14 engine, further enhancing the car's prowess. The 510's chassis was a strong and well-engineered platform, featuring MacPherson struts in the front and a live rear axle with leaf springs. This setup provided a balance of comfort and handling characteristics, making the 510 a capable performer on both city streets and winding roads. The PL510 offered an array of body styles, including the popular two-door sedan, a four-door sedan, a wagon, and even a coupe known as the "1600 SSS." The 510's popularity continued beyond its production run, as it gained a reputation as a reliable and easily modifiable platform, attracting a loyal following among enthusiasts. This legacy, along with its unique design and engineering, solidified the Datsun PL510's place as a classic and influential car in the automotive world.
