Bluebird is Nissan's C-class (compact) model family, which grew out of the original Datson (DAT Light Car) model, the Datson Type 10 of 1931. For additional details, see History. Bluebird family includes the 210/310/410/510/610/810/910 model series -- but not the 710 which was of the Violet family.

Overview

The Bluebird is of direct lineage to the original Datson Light Car

The first Datsun to be called Bluebird was the 210 model series, apparently during mid-run.

  • 1959-1963 310/311/312 Datsun Bluebird/1000/1200
  • 1963-1967 410/411 Datsun Bluebird/410/411
  • 1967-1973 510 Datsun Bluebird/510/1600,1300,1400
  • 1973-1976 610 Datsun Bluebird/610/180B
  • 1976-1979 810 Datsun Bluebird/810/180B/200B
  • 1980-1983 910 Datsun/Nissan Bluebird/810/Maxima (to 1986 in Australia)
  • 1983 switch to FWD starting with U11 model series Bluebird/Maxima

Bluebirds often feature Independent rear suspension (IRS) starting with the 510 series. 510 wagons are a notable exception, although export 510 sedans may also may have a live axle.

Later 6-cylinder-equipped Bluebirds, starting with the G610 and the G810 -- stretched models -- may be considered D-class (mid-size) cars. At the same time the base 610 and 810 were shorter cars.
