dsl ◊ 2011-07-09 16:56	Possibly, but might be Datsun Fairlady/1600 sports with unusual hardtop??
929V6 ◊ 2011-07-09 19:36	Agree with dsl, it's a Datsun for sure.
Barrett ◊ 2011-07-10 16:12	Wow, never seen that type of hardtop on a Fairlady before!
an_unusual_eye ◊ 2011-07-11 02:28	neither have i... it really changes the look of the car. i'd love to see that in person.

CougarTim ◊ 2021-03-23 23:34	Thompson Fiberglass Products of Seattle marketed a fastback top for the Datsun, but the trunklid and rear glass appear different: An identical surviving example pictured here is described only as "a rare aftermarket hardtop": http://yoeddy.blogspot.com/2012/08/sovren-pacific-northwest-historics.html
