Where is that ad from? I don't think they were marketed as Datsuns here....they were Nissans, weren't they?

i saw a ad like that for a patrol but it was like roy rodgers or someone like him, some old cowboy type hardass. i wonder id those are in the old popular mechanics mags. i have a small pile of mid 60's ones i might have to flip through..

Yeah, Roy Rogers was the spokesman for the Patrol in the early 60's. This is from 1964:

Is that first pic a brochure or postcard!? I have it as both and the postcard I have never seen other than mine.....Roy was the spokes man from 64 to I think 67. He was given at least one Patrol for the sponsership maybe more, he was also give several trucks he also sponsered. Finding info about Roy and his Patrols is nearly impossible....if anyone has hard factual info about Roy and his Patrols I would love to hear it!! Here is a bit more info....A Datsun guy back in the 60's raced a Patrol in the 67 Baja1000. I think his name was Burt Brock, he did not win. Parnelli Jones's wife also had 3 Patrols, one is in So.Cal and is a 1965


Take a close look at the Big Boss picture, look at the lower left shot in it. See the radio center dash? See the large box in front of passanger seat? This is the optional radio and speaker. I have both of these in my 66 and have never seen another in person. The radio was a Hitachi and so was the speaker, I have org owners manual for both also!! What is/was really cool about this radio is it was a pull-out. It has a key that unlocks the radio and you can remove it, then batteries can be put in it and you have a portable radio!! Cool huh!?
