Remembering my first Datsun!

The Datsun 510 wagon was the first car I ever drove by myself!

When I was a teen, I used to visit my mom in central Oregon. She had an orange '71 Datsun Station Wagon with a 4 speed. It had a black vinyl top. She let me learn how to drive the car on the gravel back roads of Sweet Home, Oregon. 

Doing an extensive internet search for this combo of an orange Datsun wagon with a black vinyl top, I could not locate a single one. Unfortunately, this car is likely in the crusher.

Do let me know if you happen upon an example. I'd love to see it. Now let's see some of that Datsun 510 goodness from Jay Leno's Garage.
