Disc Brakes and Types.

ThrowBack Thursday: Datsun 510
Launched in October 1967, it was one of the most comprehensive Bluebird ranges in body styles: a two-door sedan (added in June 1968), a four-door sedan, a five-door station wagon, and a two-door coupé (added in November 1968). This range became famous for Nissan's rallying successes outside Japan and paved the way for greater Nissan sales internationally. The Datsun 510 was a series of the Datsun Bluebird sold from 1968 to 1973, and offered outside the U.S. and Canada as the Datsun 1600. According to AutoWeek's G.D.

How To Choose Between a Car with Automatic or Manual Transmission
Getting a new car, the most essential thing is to be enlightened beforehand so you'll know the differences between a manual and an automatic transmission.
