fisch Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Some of you may remember I bought a 1958 Spare Parts manual a wile back. Well as a bonus, inside the front cover are some historical letters from 1959!! I finally got them scanned so I could share! Pretty neat! Quote Link to comment
yellowdatsun Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Awesome insight into the early days of Datsun in the US. I especially like the bumped capital letter problem on the typewriter they were using. Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 Pretty cool. I found the window sticker price paper in the panel where the rear quarter windows are on my 1965 impala convertible. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 Freaking kool !!! I like the "tightening bolts in the engine to stop leaks" memo... :cool: Quote Link to comment
Jester Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I too notice the bumped capital letters. Did anyone else catch #20 of the "pre delivery" check list? connect the speedometer. Quote Link to comment
Charlie69 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 What a great find fisch! I liked the ending paragraph on the delivery check list. Could this be what the U.S. manufacturers are lacking? Quote Link to comment
MikeRL411 Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 No mention of checking paint for shipping and handling scratches. Early Datsuns came with a can of touchup paint of the same lot as the paint on the car. Perfect color and texture match. I still have the can that came with my car, however would you be surprised to hear that 43 years have dried it up? Quote Link to comment
