 The Datsun 510 was a series of the Datsun Bluebird sold from 1968 to 1974, and offered outside the U.S. and Canada as the Datsun 1600. According to AutoWeek's G.D. Levy, the 510 has often been called the "poor man's BMW." The 510's engineering was inspired by contemporary European sedans, particularly the 1966 BMW 1600-2, incorporating a SOHC engine, MacPherson strut suspension in front and independent, semi-trailing arms in the back.[3] The European-influenced sheet metal design is attributed to Datsun in-house designer, Teruo Uchino.Originally posted by Jlyons617 View Postfixed
 
  
 
 
 Your right tho! (but 510 was based of the 2002 which was already in production for 5 years and selling good when they realised the 510 can)

 Rob, you forgot the Bluebird 310. Predessor to the 510. Small numbers were sold in the US and it predates the 2002 by 2 years.
