Comments on: EVENTS: JCCS Part Six: Truck, Yeah! (And Some Race Cars) http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/blog/2009/10/13/events-jccs-part-six-truck-yeah-and-some-race-cars/ The official blog of Japanese Nostalgic Car magazine Fri, 12 Mar 2010 23:59:12 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Sam http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/blog/2009/10/13/events-jccs-part-six-truck-yeah-and-some-race-cars/comment-page-1/#comment-11325 Sam Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:20:59 +0000 http://japanesenostalgiccar.com/blog/?p=8060#comment-11325 Thanks for taking note of my husband's '59 Datsun 220 (1000)! This line of trucks has been my husband's mistress for the past few yrs. It was with a starry look in his eye one Saturday in the spring of '05 that he told me of his first one. Since then, he has found (sigh...and bought) 2 more of the '59 trucks and one '59 car (for parts). It has made for some fun family road trips, though. You are correct in assuming it was one of the first that entered the market. It is my understanding that it was a small fleet of only 10 of those '59s that started Datsun/Nissan's foray into the compact truck market. We've got 3 and I know of one other that was restored and sold a few yrs ago at a Barrett-Jackson auction. Since there are so few to keep track of, I think it would be really interesting to know what happened to the other 6. The '59 220 might be my husband's mistress, but I guess I am a pretty understanding wife. ;) Thanks for taking note of my husband’s ‘59 Datsun 220 (1000)!
