Datsun is commonly recognized as the inventor of the mini-truck, since bringing its first diminutive pickup trucks to American shores in the late 1950s. Advertising in magazines and newspapers was the most cost-effective way for Datsun to promote its pickups and trucks, which left behind a rich and colorful history of print ads. We’ve collected some of the best (and some really obscure ones) for your viewing pleasure.
If you have scans or images of additional print ads featuring Datsun products that you’d like to see added to the collection, send us an email at webmaster@nicoclub.com!
