Spotted On The Street


An old Datsun B210. Not a particularly great car... I just took note of it because my mom used to drive one of these cars long, long ago. A little history lesson here. Datsun's parent company, Nissan, decided to brand all cars being shipped to America as Datsun instead of Nissan for fear that American's would not buy a Nissan brand car due to Nissan's involvement with the Japanese military during WWII.

  1. My first car was a Datsun B210...four door! Same size, with two extra doors. I could roll down the rear windows while driving, I could bunny hop the car over curbs. I didn't get into the car, I put it on like a jumpsuit. Aaaaaah, the good ol' days.

  2. OMG, Todd's mom is like 5'1" and probably looked cramped, I can only imagine the Paste Eater crammed into a Datsun!
