1932 Datsun

Post by nismou20 »

Was at the Toyota museum close to Nagoya last week and came across this 1932 oldest known Datsun. Worth a visit if ever in town.

That is actually a very cool car for era & origin. Reminds one of a smaller Bentley from the same era. Nice pics

BTW: what is the light blue roadster model (name starts with C)? Similar to our roadsters. Thanks

That is a Daihatsu Compagno I recall. Think it had a smaller engine sub 1,000cc but cute little thing!

True that. And a beautiful steering wheel as well. A rare bird even by JDM standards. Thanks for the reply.

Yup! I'm going for that "original" look for all my roadsters. No overriders :-)
