Old Nissan U.S.A.Newsletters

[Mike B]

Here is a Datsun Dealer Co-op Advertising package from 1967. It has forms and details of the program, along with various Parker Advertising pieces and five copies of "Datsun Dashes". It was mentioned in the book ''NISSAN DATSUN A History OF Nissan Motor Corporation IN U.S.A. 1960-1980'' BY John Rae.

While we are showing our paper collections, I thought I would share what I found this past weekend at the 32nd Wichita Postcard Show. Having been and antique postcard collector and dealer for over 20 years, I have never seen or sought out cards of our beloved Marque untill this year. To my surprise I was able to find a dozen different ones, plus duplicates.

1. Datsun 240-Z Parker Advertising, Jason Halley Photographer. This is a Arcade Card, non postcard.

2. Datsun 1600 Sports Car, Arcade card.

3. 1968 Datsun 2000, Back describes both models, 3-68

4. All New Datsun Sedan, Back describes model, has CA dealer tag, 3-68

5. Test Drive A Datsun Champion, 'Pictured is the New York Metropolitan Datsun Dealers 610'.

6-12 Are Nissan Postcards, (lower left) Description of each in length is in the back.

6. Datsun 210, the guy is playing a flute!

7. Datsun 310

8. Datsun 510

9. Datsun 810, fuel injected 240-Z engine.

10 Datsun 200-SX

11 Datsun 280-ZX, 'Last year's Motor Trend "import Car of the Year"'

12 Datsun Trucks, 'Newly styled'

The Nissan cards do not have any numbers on them, so no idea how many in the series, or what year(s) they have been produced. I can scan the backs if intrested. A dealer at the show said he had a yellow 240-Z back at his shop. It should be in the mail by now, if he has it.
