1973 Datsun 1200 Saves over a Gallon of Gas a DayNissan

Nissan began selling Datsun cars in the United States when the 210 (ancestor of the Bluebird/510) appeared here in 1958. American Datsun sales really took off with the introduction of the 1971 Nissan Sunny, known here as the Datsun 1200. The New York Yankees even used a 1200 as their first bullpen car!
