The ‘81 Datsuns: Perfect 10s, Except For the ZX!

We were going to make this an all-Toyota, all-Late Malaise Classic Ad Watch week, but if we have to hear the "Oh, What a Feeling" song just one more time we won't be held responsible for our actions. So howzabout we check out a Late Malaise Datsun ad today? This one features some actors with frighteningly blue eyes, a mackin' ladies' man who- for reasons best known to himself- takes his harem out car shopping and buys a fleet of Datsuns instead of, say, a Rolls, and references to the then-two-year-old film 10.
