1966 Datsun (Nissan) Pickup Truck Commercial Mini HO City - Revell Models
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 жов 2024
- This commercial features some HO scale models from Revell and Bachman. You'll see the "Roadside Restaurant" as well as some HO 1961 Valiants and Plymouth Wagons by Revell. The well appointed dash of this Datsun doesn't include a radio. Many people would just hang on the Rear View Mirror a Sony or Panasonic Transistor Radio. This is indeed a very old and rare commercial. Nissan called all cars imported to the USA Datsun originally
The best thing about these vehicles is the inexpensiveness to operate them. My 77 got well over 25 miles per gallon hauling over 500 lbs. I know that is not a lot but it is all that I needed it to do.
I have a 2002 Frontier king cab xe 4cyl 5 speed. 2wd. Gets 26mpg
@@twoeightythreez I get that too if i keep the rpm's under 2500 which is easy with all the torque
@@twoeightythreez Still made by Datsun. Nissan I should say. The name Datsun sold much better than the name Nissan in this country back at that time.
@@danbasta3677 Todavía en Ecuador y Sudáfrica,aunque creo solo la version 1200.
I'd love to have a Datsun pickup
Super reliable and insanely easy to work on.
I remember my parents going to the local Datsun dealer and buying a new 1976 B210 hatchback in yellow, I remember the trucks they had as well, I would love to have one of those short bed, standard cabs with manual trans today.
I'd love to have that thing now!
Beautiful truck you be lucky to get one of those model thank you very much for showing me your beautiful truck.👍✌️💯
Latch tailgate, with over-the-bed hooks. Man I miss true trucks! Simple, A to B and easy to work on.
Wish they were still made today.
Same
En Ecuador y Sudáfrica.Pero el 1200.
What a beautiful truck..
Amazing little truck, by the way I own a 1972 datsun pick up, and it still runs great, I drive it every single day.
Can you post a video of your truck that be sick
They last and last, but rust can be a problem if located in the northeast? Good for you though!!!
My friend had a 72. That little truck was amazing. Durable and he sure got his money's worth out of it, drove it for many years. Love to have one! Yes post a video cause those were pretty good looking trucks. Better than some today. By the way, I kept my 72 Malibu.

@@pgo301 This is a very true statement, as in the northeastern part of the country whare there are severe snow storms, ice and road salts are used, these little trucks simply didn't stand a chance. After you bought one of them, within two years, the bodies were all rusted out and totally disintegrated. The engines ran fine, forever for that matter, however, the bodies, that was a totally different matter.
This was my first ride... mine was white, gutless than anything but man I loved that beast!
Mine was a red 65.
I was fortunate enough to get a 77 with curtains and carpeted interior for my first. Miss that baby!!!
I wouldn't say they were gutless. Just very slow.

@@dubagentselekions8221 Got a link with pics? Where is it located?
nice to see you are posting again, always loved these old commercials
Your Welcome! It's hard to find the films and I have to amass a good number of them before I send them out to be restored. I'll be loading more in the next couple days. I'm using a new service and the re-colorization is fantastic. Also, these are done in a really high quality format, to load this commercial took 12 hours! lol Thanks for watching and you'll see about a dozen more in the next few days, all new to UA-cam!
very well made trucks, 20 years on and they are still all over the place, for better or worse
More like 50

1966, that means it's a 520!
My first vehicle was a '69 Datsun truck that had a 289 v-8 jammed into it. It also had all the running gear, with a narrowed rear end, from the same Mustang. It was a shit ton of fun.
I put a 283 in a 77 with a mustang rear end. Ran great and passed everything but a gas station
4 speeds forward!! Like it? Go see!!)
Basic, simple pickup trucks, large or small, are nearly impossible to buy today! Give me my manual transmission, crank windows, manual steering and base engine any day! Why does every modern pickup truck have to be a Cadillac or a Rolls Royce in equipment and price?
I quite agree with you on everything you wrote here, as I feel the very same way to. These newer trucks today are all ugly four door station wagon trucks with wagon wheels and thin tires on them. Hey! Give it a KISS, which means, Keep It Simple, Stupid. I prefer simple over complicated.
@@danbasta3677 The transformation of the pickup truck from simple cargo hauler to $90,000 luxury barge began with the government-mandated restrictions on car interior size in 1977. The “American land yacht” was rendered obsolete, but people still wanted big power for towing trailers and just getting into traffic. Those who didn’t worry much about gas mileage didn’t switch to the new downsized sedans, they went to pickup trucks and their derivatives. “Multi-purpose vehicles” were exempt from the 1977 interior size restrictions, and could still be built like tanks. The full-size Chevy wagon was replaced by either a Suburban or a Silverado. The people buying these luxury pickups today are the same people who would be buying full-size sedans and wagons if they still made them. This has resulted in the mistaken idea that ALL pickup buyers today demand luxury. There are still plenty of us who want exactly the opposite: Simplicity.
Commercials were so much cooler in the old days. These days you would see a transgender showing the vehicle
And look how far they have come in 2018
Yeah. They all are ugly four door station wagon trucks with wagon wheels and thin tires on them. Wouldn't give ya ten cents for any of these newer ones today. Just don't like them.
Awesome!

Nice,
Thank you! Do you have more Datsun or Toyota from the 1960's.
I'm a collector of film, so when I find them I post them. I don't have any more Datsun or Toyota films that aren't already posted here, but that doesn't mean I won't find more in the future and upload them. I was particularly proud of this find because I think it's the oldest known Datsun Commercial uploaded here on youtube. :O)
2,000 lb payload? that might be a bit optimistic.
Those old Datsuns could haul a lot. They were very ruggedly built, but because they were VERY small, The trucks themselves didn't weigh much, so the suspensions could handle quite a lot. They really were built like a shrunken HD truck. The front axles were kingpin till the mid 1970s. The frames were fully boxed. These trucks didn't even begin to ride decently unless you had 1000lbs in them.
Again due to the small size, and limited power of the engines, it was actually very hard to overload one of these, and even if you did, they just shrugged it off and lugged it.
Rust was literally the only weakness with these.
I disagree... I put very close to that in mine a few times.
I’m guessing these rusted pretty badly in the northern half of the US. Certainly later Datsun/Nissan pickups did, as well as everything else from Toyota, Mitsubishi and Isuzu at that time.
Yes, they did, and it was a terrible shame as they were good looking trucks that ran strong for many years, just the bodies were weak and fell apart.
@@danbasta3677 I did like the auto-opening drivers door feature - Datsun were certainly ahead of their time! 😄
Truck From Datsun
Not nissan
@@kascnef They were Nissans. The name Datsun sold better in the United States than the name Nissan. When you pulled the hood of one of these little girls, the valve cover said Nissan on it. In 1980, you saw the trucks say Datsun, by Nissan, while others said Nissan by Datsun.
We're further from then, then then was from WWI
Gracias por la información de camionetas Dtzun Jesus Andres Torres Lopez
Just don't drive it in the snow...or rain...ever.
Why did nissan call their cars to the US datsun instead of nissan?
Marketing......they used the Datsun name in some countries. back to the 1930's I think
When Nissan Motor Sales USA were setting up they were fearful of negative connotations connected to Nissan and its role in the war.
