What you missed was this little beauty - the real thing.

The early Datsun corporate HQ was at 137 East Alondra Blvd. in Gardena (CA). In 1970, the Master Parts Depot (MPD) opened on Artesia Blvd. (also in Gardena). From early 1970 until the famous 9-story HQ building was finished in '72, the corporate HQ was located in one of the front modules at the newly constructed MPD. Originally, the building had front & rear entrances. However, upon completion of the 91 freeway, the back entrance (on Walnut Street) became the main (& only) entrance. Prior to the freeway coming thru, the front lawn contained a volleyball court (complete w/sand pit) for the employees to use during lunch hour. Mr. Katayama (Mr. K) was also known to have flown his kites on that front lawn.

This sign is made from 3/4" wood w/plastic lettering & border. It measures 30" x 18" &, except for being a little worn from 15 years worth of exposure & dirty from 20+ years of storage, is in very good condition. This sign was removed upon the name conversion from DATSUN to NISSAN in 1984.

Fortunately, it has gone to one of the best homes it could have.

I look forward to seeing it in Dan's new garage

Oh you guys are missing the ultimate sign. They took the 'Nissan' off the building in Gardena, just like they took the 'Dastun' off years ago. Wonder where those huge letters from above the 11th floor ended up?

Wanna sell me a roadster ? After selling mine a few years ago I really miss it.
