DarrenDriven Posted April 25, 2018 Report Share Posted April 25, 2018 Hey guys, I've been working on a little project to archive and share every single US-market Datsun brochure ever released. I have most of them scanned already, but I have a handful that I am still seeking. I'd love to have 100% of them available. Do you have any old Datsun brochures that you would be willing to scan? My master list is located here: http://importarchive.com/brochure/datsun If you have a brochure that is needed, or might not even be on the list, then post up and let me know! I want to make this as complete and accurate as possible. Thanks guys! Darren 6 Quote Link to comment

Dguy210 Posted May 8, 2018 Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 Nice collection. I looked through but I don't see anything that you need that I think I have unfortunately. Any chance you have a more sorted list of what you are looking for? Quote Link to comment

Any chance you have a more sorted list of what you are looking for? More sorted than by model and year? There are nineteen brochures on that list that I'm aware exist and need for the archive.

No I mean like a list of just those 19. I looked at the site and the signal/noise ratio when just looking for just what is needed made it more difficult for me to tell. Quote Link to comment
DarrenDriven Posted May 8, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2018 I see what you are saying. This is the current list of brochures that I KNOW I am missing... of course, there could be others that I am not aware of. datsun200sx1982 http://i.imgur.com/yf5LuRF.jpg| Alternate version | https://www.ebay.com/itm/290882210280 | 9.99"; datsun2101981 http://i.imgur.com/BCQHzqv.jpg| WE 4-81-200M-2 | https://www.ebay.com/itm/282598452835 | 12.99"; datsun6101974 http://i.imgur.com/yaer4vO.jpg| Wagon version"; datsun6101974a http://i.imgur.com/8l1r4fR.jpg| Consumer info | https://www.ebay.com/itm/350728443083 | 7.49"; datsun7101974 http://i.imgur.com/lZGyLp5.jpg| Consumer info | https://www.ebay.com/itm/292490389741 | 11.99"; datsun8101979 http://i.imgur.com/UmRCxWo.jpg| Consumer Information Guide | https://www.ebay.com/itm/370776857655 | 14.99"; datsun8101983 http://i.imgur.com/YpXksgW.jpg| MAX-WE-9-82 430M-AL-1 print date | https://www.ebay.com/itm/292511557368 | 14.95"; datsunb2101974 http://i.imgur.com/ySFUb2h.jpg| Consumer info | https://www.ebay.com/itm/370780941191 | 11.24"; datsunlineup1979 Early short version"; datsunlineup1980 http://i.imgur.com/MY3Veg3.jpg| Earlier version"; datsunlineup1980a Early large version"; datsunlineup1981 http://i.imgur.com/Nah22PB.jpg| Product Guide | https://www.ebay.com/itm/37126401133 | 34.99"; datsunlineup1981a http://i.imgur.com/8gPaVHx.jpg| Product Guide | https://www.ebay.com/itm/351320916344 | 34.99"; datsunlineup1981b http://i.imgur.com/Biiiib0.jpg| Retail Pricing Guide | https://www.ebay.com/itm/290883273063 | 8.99"; datsuntruck1979 http://i.imgur.com/jNC55HU.jpg| Their job is to last"; datsuntruck1980 http://i.imgur.com/N9LSd5p.jpg| Introducing the new 4x4"; datsuntruck1982 http://i.imgur.com/npovO18.jpg| WE-10-81 315M GR-1 print date | https://www.ebay.com/itm/253552697491 | 11.95"; datsuntruck1982a http://i.imgur.com/p5Py34I.jpg| MVP Truck brochure | https://www.ebay.com/itm/370782059433 | 8.99"; datsunz1982 http://i.imgur.com/rr3cmwx.jpg| WE-2-82 230M print date | https://www.ebay.com/itm/222949840475 | 9.95"; 1 Quote Link to comment

MikeRL411 Posted May 16, 2018 Report Share Posted May 16, 2018 Surprisingly some of the best "new car" ads I ever saw were in Japanese magazines primarily aimed at the female market. I used a Datsun ad from one of my wife's collection with an ad and write up on the upcoming 510 sedan to get the price I wanted for my Dealer's Demo RL411. I pointed out that when his customers realized that the upcoming 510 series was like a BMW 1600 with 4 doors and at half price [and left the car that I wanted sit on his lot through a really nasty winter] I got it for my price on March 10 1968. It's still the best $1700 I ever spent !!!!!! No, I don't have those magazines, they passed hand to hand among all the Japanese wives at Malmstrom AFB Montana. Quote Link to comment

DarrenDriven Posted March 8, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I'm still on the lookout for 38 US-market Datsun brochures to complete the archive. Any collectors out there? http://importarchive.com/brochure/datsun 1 Quote Link to comment
angliagt Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I've got a lot of different car brochures - I'll check them to see if you can use any of them. Quote Link to comment
