"Off to break new ground" in the 4-door automatic.

New Datsun 1000 — it's got the lot! Manual or automatic. The record-setting 62 bhp engine gives ample power for the 3-speed 6-position Nissan full automatic transmission. In fact, the Datsun 1000 automatic has the same power punch as the manual.

If you like racing changes and driving on gears, you'll go for the 4-on-the-floor stick shift. If you enjoy just sitting back and taking it easy, then you'll like the automatic doing the work for you. But whatever you choose, the result is the same. Smooth, easy driving from an excellently engineered power plant. Low fuel consumption. Easy to read instrumentation on the safety facia. Tight, exact handling. The comfort of climate control with the heater/demister and fresh-air ventilation. Plenty of room. Built-in 'extras' for added luxury touches. And throughout the Datsun difference that's like pure gold! Beyond compare in its class.

"At the Diggings" Clunes. The exact spot where gold was discovered in Victoria July 1851ᴳ.

Five great models — two door sedan, four door sedan manual/automatic, station wagon, and Coupe. Datsun 1000's en masse. More than half a million are on the world's roads, winning races, carrying families, delivering goods — doing everything smoothly, efficiently, and for low running costs.

The 2-door is for younger people who like to get the most out of life with not too much expense — and supreme for those who like a second car. The 4-door is eminently suitable for the family man — it's easy to fit baby's car seats, to get a carry-basket in or out, to carry the kiddies paraphernalia. The station-wagon gives that extra space-great for camping trips and such, when the added cubic-feet can be a real boon. And then there's the Coupe — the hot performer with sleek fastback lines, ideal for 'swingers' of all ages. The styling turns heads wherever the Coupe goes.

Five great models. Discover Datsun 1000 now at your Datsun dealer — and stake your claim ... on the one that suits you best. Because whichever one it is — it's got the lot!

This is the widest tail-light assembly of any car in the Datsun 1000 class. You get a combination of large flashing indicator lights, big bright stop lights and powerful reversing lights. Datsun designers and engineers have built safety-plus in wherever possible — with no extra cost to you.

You'll discover many other safety features in your Datsun 1000, Among them are child-proof anti-burst door locks, 3-point front seat safety belts, 2-speed windscreen wipers with electric washers, a dual braking system with a tandem master cylinder, and exterior wing mirrors.

Also, the interior mirror is self-detaching on impact — and wide for clear vision at all times. And while we're discussing vision, you'll discover that your Datsun 1000 is free of blind-spots. Big safety glass windows with strong narrow columns give you a panoramic view. Even one short sit in a Datsun 1000 will prove you get perfect visibility.

Automatic transmission unique in this class. Because Datsun's new Nissan full automatic is 3-speed, 6-position full automatic — the best. You can hold the car in any of the lower gears, even drive it on the gears If you like. Or do like most people — put it in 'D' for drive and let the full automatic do the work for you.

When we boast "It's Got the Lot!" — we naturally include carpet, thick, deep and soft under foot. And in tones that complement the modern Datsun colour schemes.

Datsun 1000, it's got the lot! which naturally includes a radio: This is a radio with solid-state components and designed with Japanese expertise to give you real high-fidelity sound as you go.

This is a press-button radio. To set up each station, you tune to the station, pull a button out and push it back again. Do this five times with your five favourite stations, and you can change over anytime without taking your eyes from the road.

A car aerial can be vulnerable — but not on the Datsun 1000. Push it down when you leave the car, turn a key, and your aerial is locked tight. It's a small thing-but Datsun owners appreciate it as they appreciate all 'built-in extras' fitted in the Datsun 1000, like the 2-speed heater/demister.

Comfort-and safety. The heater warms you efficiently as the demister gives you perfect visibility. The best of both worlds, all in one package, well out of leg's way. That's the comfort and safety you have when you get that Datsun difference!
