he Datsun Heritage Museum opened in September to coincide with Mr. K's 99th birthday. Part of its mission is to bring Datsun enthusiasts together and provide a venue for events like the SoCal Roadster Owners Club's (SoCalROC) Car Show.

The gathering welcomed all types of Datsuns, from roadsters to Z-cars, 510s to 620 pickups. Entry to both the museum and the car show were free, as long as attendees brought along a toy for charity. Plenty of gifts were collected, going to a local children's hospital afterwards.

We're also thrilled to see the Datsun Heritage Museum serving as a meeting place for enthusiasts. Now that the hard work of establishment is done, contributions of Datsun-related materials keep rolling in. We were very excited to see Lucy Baddeley, the original owner of this 1976 Datsun B210 that she has kept on the road all these years, show up to donate her car to the collection! Stay tuned for more events at this great location.
