Dan,

Good Memory!

Didn't have time for the Sedan, which was a 312.

On the side of the body, they were labeled
"Bluebird" until April 1963, after that date
it was a DATSUN on the side. (Datsun was sued
by the Bluebird Truck Company for name
infringement. Bluebird school buses are still
being built today).

The 310 started in 1960.  The 312 was built
from late 1961 until mid '65. About a year
and a half overlap with the 410 production.

Yes, parts are much harder to find for the
early Datsun Sedans. Alan Bent's early Datsun
mailing list would be a good source of contacts
for possible parts.
