The Datsun 510, a compact car produced by the Japanese automaker Datsun (now Nissan) from 1968 to 1979, is a legendary nameplate renowned for its affordability, reliability, and performance. The 1979 model year marked the final year of production for the 510, bringing an end to a successful era that saw the car become a cult classic and a favorite among enthusiasts. The 1979 Datsun 510 was offered in a variety of trims, including the base 2-door sedan, a 4-door sedan, and a wagon. All models were powered by a 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine, the L16, which produced 79 horsepower. While not a powerhouse by today's standards, the 510's lightweight design and balanced handling made it a capable performer on the road.

Despite the arrival of the more modern and larger Datsun 810, the 510 remained a popular choice for its simplicity, practicality, and affordability. Its fuel-efficient engine and robust build quality were particularly appealing during a period of high gasoline prices and economic uncertainty. The 1979 Datsun 510 also featured several updates over its earlier iterations, including redesigned front and rear bumpers to comply with new safety regulations, a more spacious interior with updated upholstery, and a range of available options like air conditioning and an AM/FM radio. Although the 510 was discontinued after 1979, its legacy continues to inspire car enthusiasts and collectors, with the model often celebrated for its classic styling, its handling prowess, and its reputation for being a reliable and durable vehicle. Today, the Datsun 510 is a sought-after classic car, with well-preserved examples commanding significant value in the collector car market.
