its price on its sleeve.
A lot of economy cars look like economy cars. They act like economy cars. They feel like economy cars.
This one is different. It's the Datsun 1200 2-Door Sedan. Outside, it's neat and stylish, complete with whitewalls, Inside, it has all-vinyl upholstery, bucket seats, nylon carpeting. It has safety front disc brakes and an engine that turns 0-60 in less than 15 seconds. Sure, it's an economy car. But only you will know.
Drive a Datsun ... then decide.

1200 Coupe
No, the Datsun 1200 Sport Coupe isn't one of those great, snorting thunderbarges. But it's not your run-of-the-mill econonmy car, either.
It's something in between. A neat little machine that handles like a sports car, goes like a bat and comes with an economy price that includes a lot of extras as standard equipment. Reclining buckets, tinted glass, whitewalls and nylon carpeting to name a few. Add to that an engine that delivers about 30 miles per gallon. It's a powerful combination at any price.
Drive a Datsun ... then decide.

510 2-door Sedan
lurks a secret sports car.
At first glance, you might mistake the Datsun 510 2-Door Sedan for just another economy car.
But under that civilized exterior lies some pretty exotic machinery: Independent rear suspension. Front disc brakes. An overhead cam engine. A slick 4-speed transmission. That's the stuff sports cars are made of, as our competitors in the high-pressure 2-5 Trans-Am racing series have discovered.
Drive a Datsun ... then decide.
