Wasn't the B210 the earlier model? I seem to recall it being offered as a 2 or 4-door, and having single round headlights and a honeycomb grille. And tended to be offered only in those typical economy car colors like orange and yellow. I think it was offered up through '78, and then the more conventional 210 was a 1979-82 model with rectangular headlights, followed by the FWD Sentra in '83?

His was an earlier model, so that makes sense to me.

Your recollection is pretty good. All "Datsun" products were RWD except for the F10/310 (Cherry in Japan).

The B210 became the 210 which was replaced by the Nissan Sentra in 1982.

The F10 (the first US-market FWD Datsun) was offered in two 2-door body styles: hatchback and wagon. It was replaced by the less bizarre looking 310 (the US only had the two 2-door hatchback body styles) and was eventually replaced by the Nissan Pulsar.

The 510 was the mid-sized model in five body styles as I recall including 2-door coupe, 2-door hatchback, 4-door sedan, 4-door hatchback, and 4-door wagon. It ran until replaced by the Nissan Stanza in 1983.

There were 610 and 710 models, but I don't recall them being very popular.

The 810 became the 810 Maxima and then evenutally just Maxima.

Hmm, this is pretty interesting...looks like the Datsun 710 was slotted below the 610! I found this old ad for the '74 Datsun 710...

I always thought that as you went up through the numbers, the cars were supposed to be more upscale!

I also found an ad for the 610, but it won't open online. Rather, it downloads to your desktop. But it was offered as a hardtop coupe, 4-door pillared sedan, and a wagon. Maybe the 610 came first, and then the 810 replaced it? And the 710 just might not have ever gone anywhere, because they already had the 510?

My dad bought a late (1976) 610 with 80K on it out of an estate for $100. The bodywork is shameless tin can quality, but the engine is an amusing little sewing machine.

Is it the logo for the Frazer automobile? The story told by Joe Frazer is that he caught heck from his relatives back in Scotland for using the family crest on his cars.

I had a Datsun wagon back in the day - it was a '79 iirc. I guess it was a 510? Ran good, even after I kissed a Caddy with the front end.

Is it the logo for the Frazer automobile?

It is indeed, our family's first car was a 1947 Frazer 4-door.
