OCTOBER 2001

Early Datsun Roadster - the 'Road Star'

Before WWII, Nissan made some pretty little roadsters. The above is a rare factory postcard from Nissan's Head Office to one of its customers. The card shows the 1935 Datsun 'Road Star'. This 4 cylinder, 722 cc convertible was sold to a few pacific countries in small numbers.

On the reverse of the card it says in Japanese "Summer season's greetings and take care of your health".
