History

There was there as a sedan also now a station wagon Utilizing many of the advanced features of the 510 Sedan, Datsun's station wagon offers low wide lines, a handsome compact body and a large flat six feet of open cargo space in the rear. Designed to meet the needs of people requiring more space to carry bundles, children or work loads, the car is loaded with safety features including
front disc brakes, three anchor seat belts and collapsible steering column. Noiseless draft-free ventilation without wind wings brings fresh outside air into the car no matter what the weather. Full vinyl interior with bucket seats up front and deep foam benches in back carry five passengers in comfort, leaving plenty of cargo space behind the rear seat for several large suitcases.White sidewall tires, heater and defroster, backup lights, and four-speed all synchromesh transmission come as standard equipment. Air conditioning, radio and a full range three-speed automatic transmission are available as optional extras. Unitized all steel construction makes the contoured body rattle free and independent front strut type suspension, combined with even weight distribution,
makes the Datsun wagon highly maneuverable. Extra wide doors allow easy entry and exit.Averaging up to 25 miles to the gallon. 

For the first time as a coupe, this received front disc brakes, regardless of semi-mounted rear wheels and the 1.6-liter four-cylinder with overhead camshaft from the sports car Datsun Fairlady with 71 kW (96 hp), in addition a four-speed gearbox or on request a three-speed automatic transmission. In some markets, a 81 kW (110 SAE-PS) sports variant called Bluebird SSS was offered.

Especially in the US, this generation of Bluebirds received considerable approval as a small sports sedan. In Australia, however, the model was sold as Datsun 1600 in all model variants .
