I don't believe they were called Fairlady in the US. I think they took their name from their engine size...1600 or 2000. -- Last edit: 2009-09-28 09:53:40 |

I don't know about the US market. You're maybe right "car nerd" ... to be confirmed. But the first model with overiders on bumpers is a 1500 of 1965. The 1965 1600 [SP311] hasn't got overriders. It gets them only on model 1966. The 1500 was dropped from range in mid-65. The 2000 was launched for 1967 YM, but had a specific grill and higher overiders on bumpers. This one can't be a 2000. In 1968 till the end of production in 1969, both 1600 and 2000 are again without any overiders on bumpers. Therefore, this one is either a: 1965 Fairlady 1500 [SP310] or a 1966-67 Fairlady 1600 [SP311] |

Thanks sixcyl. Can anyone confirm the use of the Fairlady name in the US? |

Datsun owerns associations do not use Fairlady for vehicles marketed in the US. This should either be Datsun Sports 1500 or Datsun 1500 Sports, we don't seem to have a consistent naming convention yet. vehicles.php?resultsStyle=asImages&makeMatch=2&make=datsun&modelMatch=0&model=sports&modelInclModel=on&modelInclChassis=on&origin= |
