Motor Trend December 1961 editorial bit: Fierce competitors in a very active
homeland market, the Japanese auto makers are determined that there is a place
in the American market for their cars. The Nissan Motor Company, Ltd., of
Tokyo, makers of the Datsun, have introduced a sports car and a family sedan,
the Fair Lady and the Bluebird, included in our December road tests. These
cars show an amazing combination of features from English, German and American
cars, including the very tricky name of 'Bridgestone' for their tires." BTW,
road test ends with these profound words: "With the proper approach and good
cars they intend to make even better, Datsun will soon have quite a number of
Americans driving cars marked Made In Japan."
