Datsun - Datsun Bluebird
The Bluebird name was first used on the 1.2 litre Datsun 310 of 1960, which evolved into the 311 and by 1962 the 312 model. For 1964 the Bluebird was modernised with the 410 series with bodywork designed by Pininfarina, which led to the 412 model by 1964. The next Bluebird was the 510 series introduced in 1967 with a new shape body either as a 2 or 4 door, with 1.3 or 1.6 litre engines. The next Datsun Bluebird was the 610 series introduced in 1971 with engine capacities ranging from 1595cc to 1998 cc. These were replaced in 1976 the new model Datsun Bluebird 810 which were built to the end of 1979. The Nissan Bluebird 910 was the final rear wheel drive Bluebird, with an upto date European looking clean cut bodywork.
