Datsun 510 Sales Brochure - 1968

A big thanks to Andy for supplying this brochure!

This is the USA sales brochure that accompanied the release of the 'all new' Datsun Sedan, this 510 model took over from the older 411. It primarily focuses on the 510 (or 1600 as we know it here), but the Datsun 2000 and what looks like a 1500 Utility also get a mention. It's a 3 page brochure printed on both sides and folded twice. The files are pretty big but they had to be so the text was easily visible, so please forgive me those with slow internet connections! The links will open into a new window.
