1967+ [WP411]. WP is a code for station wagon. Model year due to text from Early Datsun page: "In late 1966 there were some changes made to the P411. (...) There is a new tail light design, they are a rectangular shape and now have a reversing light between the stop and indicator lenses". -- Last edit: 2010-03-25 19:53:07 |

insanely rare car... these were sold in the U.S.A. as "Datsun 411 SSS Station Wagon" [WPL411] |

The Datsun WPL411 came in 2 varieties, at least they did in '67. I had the standard WPL411 with a 1299 (1300) cc engine producing 67 hp. My brother had a WPL411 SSS, which came with the Fairlady (Datsuns sportscar, prerunner to the 240Z) engine, which included twin downdraft carburators and went like a bat outa hell! He once raced a buddy of his that had a Chevy El Camino truck. The El Camino pulled about quarter car length out of the hole, but after that my brother stayed with him with the hood of the Datsun even with the El Camino's door until the end! His buddy couldn't believe that he almost lost to what looked like a toy car!! Both of our wagons were red, but his was kind of a blood red while mine was fire engine red. Neither would have been legal in Japan at the time as the only red vehicles in Japan were emergency vehicles. Wish I still had that silly little car, it was tons of fun to drive! -- Last edit: 2015-05-22 19:23:30 |
