FWIW -
 
The 610 retained an independent rear (like the original 510), whereas the 710 had to make do with a live axle on leafs.
 
The knock on the late-70's 510 was that they again cheaped out on the suspension (tarnishing the original Five & Dime's rep).
 
IMO The coolest of the mid-70's Datsuns (other than a Z) would be a 610 Coupe.

I can't recall ever seeing a 610 coupe on the road...before my time. When I was in high school in the mid 90s, I knew a girl who had a 710 coupe, but it was a beater...although it was usually reliable.
 
What sticks in my mind about my dad's Datsun is that it is scary at 60mph...paper-thin sheetmetal, lack of power, and a somewhat floaty ride had me somewhat worried.

I gave Magnette 3 hours to respond...
 
It's a 1953-1954 Arnolt-MG.

That's right Hudson, there's an MG-TD hiding under that beautiful aluminum Bertone body. Fantasy Junction calls it an MG-Arnolt 1500, one of 102 made.

This car looked nice at the 1997 or 1998 autoshow in DC.

Saw this beauty at a cruise-in. I haven't seen one of these at shows that I can recall. To me this one is an archexample of that car from the era.

It's an easy one, a nice example of a hideously overstyled car. I'll let somebody else put the name to it.
