The Z - series & 510 - series would have to be most popular dato models. Bruns

(1985ish) I still say the (sunny) sentra .

dodge, to clarify, the 510 series was a best seller, not particularly the 2dr

the 2dr was the lowest spec of the series and therefore filled a some sort of market niche until the 710 arrived in '74

I have seen more of the b210 here in the southern U.S. than any other model datsun

but dont you have one?

i live in the us, the most popular datsun i have to say (that ive seen) is the Z car. i have never seen a ute in the states. i havent even seen a b210(120y) on the street before. gotta be the Z car

The wagons did not have Independent Rear Suspension like the sedans. Just a regular live axle. But the same 1600 L16 engine.

That reminds me of how much I disliked my 510 wagon. Don't get one with a 2-speed automatic transmission ...

Quote:Sales of the 510 two door must have picked up dramaticly in '72 to become a best seller because it was the least popular of the three bodystyles on offer in '71.
It sold a little over half as well as the station wagon & about 2/3rds as well as the four door sedan.
That the 510 was a popular car has never been called into question & I am VERY interested in a wagon if I can find one.

Sentra = Pulsar = Whatever else

2dr 510's were produced in early 1973 for the u.s.
because it was a best seller, nissan kept it around for the first year of the 610
