Part 2/7:
Datsun was first introduced as a brand of Nissan Motor Corporation in the 1930s. The name was strategically chosen to establish a connection with the American market, where Nissan’s reputation was marred by its involvement in wartime production during World War I. Thus, in 1958, Datsun cars made their American debut, riding on the back of the growing sports car craze. The 240Z, introduced in the 1970s, would soon become a classic, symbolizing the brand's sporty identity.
