These old early ‘70s Datsuns were pretty rakish and fun-looking cars. I also can’t think of another car off the top of my head to be named with one letter, repeated thrice. The SSS. There’s been plenty of SS cars but I can’t think of another SSS, or, like I said, any other three-letter repetition. SSK, sure, HHR, close, DDS, that’s my dentist.
