Post by Speedgato »

I am not an organizer of this show but it's an awesome good time and I wanted to pass the information along to everyone.

Agreed, the tin work looks very similar to a 510, with 610 coupe hues...but what is it?

I have seen photos of an 1800 sedan - was this a couple versionof that car, and not to be confued with an 1800 Bluebird Coupe.

Here's the 610 and 710 coupe I've seen - not even close to what's above.

It's definately Datsun, but I don't know what it is.

OK - I just stumbled on it - it's a C30 Nissan Laurel, but a 2000GX version, otherwise it would have had different trim.

Interestingly, there is a sedan version of this car seen here in Vancouver, but simply badged as a Datsun 1800. I've never personally seen the car, but I've been told of its existence, and that it's been here since the early 80's.

Interesting, and pretty cool.
