710 was the first generation of the Nissan Violet. Available in both Sedan and Hardtop models. Both sedan & hardtop had fastback styling. The difference was the door frames - sedans had frames around the door windows, while hardtops had no frames around the door glass. The Hardtop has up-sweeping rear side glass, while 2-door sedan had down-sweeping rear side glass.

Overview

710 was the C-class (compact) model family for the Nissan sales organization (later named Nissan Blue). It differed from the Datsun 610 (Bluebird) notably by not using IRS in most of its models, making it handy for export markets to slot below the cost of the 610 with IRS.
