Aus Wikipedia. Nicht dargestellt. Auszug: Datsun was an automobile marque. The name was created in 1931 by the DAT Motorcar Co. for a new car model, spelling it as "Datson" to indicate its smaller size when compared to the existing, larger DAT car. Later, in 1933 after Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. took control of DAT Motorcar Co., the last syllable of Datson was changed to "sun", because "son" also means "loss" (?) in Japanese, and also to honour the sun depicted in the national flag, hence the name "Datsun" : Dattosan Dattosan).. Nissan phased out the Datsun brand in March 1986. The Datsun name is most famous for the sports cars referred to as the Fairlady roadsters and later the Fairlady (240Z) coupes. Before the Datsun brand name came into being, an automobile named the DAT car was built in 1914, by the Kwaishinsha Motorcar Works Kaishin Jidosha Kojo), in the Azabu-Hiroo District in Tokyo.
