The Datsun Bluebird (910) is an automobile which was produced by Nissan from 1979 to 1984.
Nissan began realigning its export names with its home market names with the 910 series in November 1979. The 'B' tags were dropped in favor of 'Bluebird', though the models were marketed as 'Datsun Bluebird' initially. The Bluebird 910, which was the last rear-wheel drive Bluebird, featured simple clean-cut squared-off lines, unlike the "Coke Bottle" styling of its predecessor.[5] It did however retain the same engine range, the same MacPherson strut suspension and the same wheelbase as the 810.[5]
