Datsuns in movies...............

[The Taterhead]

Not a movie but an episode of counting cars vv

 

 

^^Picture from a local email about Mobile, AL airport 

[carterb]

spotted these Datsuns in the Sniper movie series.

 

From Sniper - this 510 wagon when they first get to Panama

 

 

 

And from Sniper 3, this 620 in the training sim foreground

 

 

 

Wing windows?

[KELMO]

I think some  of the non US markets had them on 620's and pretty sure I have seen wing windows in 720 catalogs, again, non US.

Wing windows = 25 MPH free air conditioning.

I've watched this movie several times and can't believe I missed this Goon.

 

 

[MikeRL411]

Complete with rusted out lower front fender at the lower edge and rusted out door sill. Must be a Pinin Farina design. Truly a Datsun.  Door also out of alignment.

[edekalil]

I believe the movie was called Traffic.

Double Nickles

 

Set in Malibu in 1977.  Disappointing lack of Datsuns until the main character steals this one!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Upon driving away, he notices the cute girl owner in the rear view mirror, so he turns around and gives it back.  : )

She made the credits as "Datsun Owner"

[pidge]

Got some Luke Brian weird shit showin up in my YouTube algorithm. Is that a 620? Not a commercial I apologize, but an ad mine the less 

[LS_Wagon]

Think this is a Roadster and Celica in Cobra Kai.

roadsters rear fender openings are lower then the front ones

I saw a program on pbs about a lady and a gorilla named BoBo I think it was , she taught it how to sign language. Way back in the 70's she had a red Goon she and the gorilla would ride in. If it comes on again I'll try to get some shots of the Goon.

[LS_Wagon]

The movie is about a Tsunami called The Imposible.

When it first came out as the TR4 it was critisised as the best example of all that was wrong with British cars.  The 6 cylinder addition save it.

[LS_Wagon]

Datsun truck on the right.
