Description / Story
The Blueprint of a Legend "15 years ago you were lucky to get all that good stuff on a race car." A definitive 1971 advertisement for the iconic Datsun 510, the car that taught America that Japanese sedans could perform. The ad boldly compares the 510’s specifications—4-wheel independent suspension, overhead cam engine, and front disc brakes—to a vintage race car. This is the machine that launched the JDM culture in the US and earned the nickname "The Poor Man's BMW."
