    They were a victom of the dreaded tin worm, rust killed them off just like it did with the Cherry. My mother had one and the back of it just colapsed one day.

    We had one of these in the late 80's, It was already an old car when we had it. Ours was a 77' Datsun cherry 120A F-II model, it was the facelift version of what you have pictured here and it rusted and rusted until it had to be taken of the road. We replaced it with a golf gti in 88'. Those datsuns looked really nice in yellow with rally lights on the front... Saw one last about 17years ago going for it in some back road with the rally lights on.
