    The styling is like a reverse mullet. A party up front, all business in the back.

    I honestly have not seen this face before. At least in my part of the country, we had to wait a few years past 65 to start seeing these strange rolling tiny trucks--everyone else still have gangly old F150s and such.

    @Novaload: It was a few years later before these little things started to show up in Florida at all and then there were only a few of the models with larger engines.

    The Chicken Tax did a good job of keeping them from getting a start in the market on this coast. As I recall, it was not until they started "making" them in the U.S. that you saw many of them on the road.

    Dear automakers,

    Go purchase this vehicle then have all engineers and designers examine it for weeks. No, months. As long as it takes for them to realize this is a proper work truck.

    Note the lack of luxury car features from the time it was built. You get gauges, a few knobs, lights, and a radio.

    Thank you.

    I would snap that up in a heartbeat... the really old Datsun pickups are way cool, easy to fix and work on (lots of parts from later Datsun's can work on them), and when it's done it's fairly rare... Now if I just wasn't 6'4" - that cab's a little small...

    So, it's short a carburetor and air cleaner, the master cylinder, the front bumper and a radiator cap? The sucker hardly has any rust. Just a solid old, nicely cared for pickup.

    Looks like that Datsun has a few hundred thousand more miles left in it. A long afternoon's work, and you're back on the road.

    Murilee, I hope you grabbed the badges...

    Now if anyone, even just one, person at Chrysler had half a brain, they'd really grab this opportunity. Safety is important, and a fantastic selling point.

    This may be the one and only thing Dodge can shove into Toyota's face and actually have ground to stand on.

    In reply to BMW, Toyota Don't Make IIHS 2010 Top Safety List
    Just a big FYI
    The IIHS does not test Porsches. It does not test many of the most expensive BMWs and Mercedes either. Therefore their absence should not make a big difference.

    The IIHS told us they tested only 52 roofs at this point. Why? Because when they told manufacturers of the tests and asked them to send cars they thought had a chance of passing, all they got was 52. of those 27 passed. They will add new models to the list throughout the year though as they do more testing. That's why so many 2010 models were rushed through the old testing to get 2009 awards.

    Well, now I want to know a Crown Vic's ring time.

    Still, my first reaction when seeing this was that if there's anywhere that needed something like this, it's the UAE. But then I'd imagine anything this is needed to catch, it'd be driven by someone who'll easily pay off the fine, followed by building a skyscraper in the shape of Christopher Walken, just because.
