Re: 143 bids on Datsun B310

Wonder no longer. The reason is because Datsun wanted to sell some low-price Stanza and Sunny, so a simple bumper it was. In 1978 plain chrome was considered old-fashioned so they sold a lot of "upscale" version with rubber capped bumpers, especially in affluent places like Europe and Japan. The main difference between early B310 and late B310 bumpers was that they added more and more rubber

Now we recognize the timeless classic that chrome bumpers are

Japan used the all-chrome bumper on early (round headlight) and late (square headlight) B310. And all Van wagons had them

Of course GX models -- like the SGX of this discussion -- couldn't use such plain bumpers. They had to be fancied up
