Beautiful old Datsun - do you think that the owner is keeping it by choice, or if it's just a matter of being budgeted into preserving a low-cost transportation device? The slot mags could either be super cool junkyard finds, or they could've just been the cheapest rims available.
Those slot mags are way too clean to be a junkyard find, and I'd guess that this car has been in the family for years and got passed down to a younger driver.
At least I hope that's what happened, so it's being enjoyed and teaching a new generation about the beauty of RWD and Japanese durability.
Also, perhaps by an optical illusion with that missing piece of trim, I looked at these pictures for months without realizing this had 5 doors. So I agree, definitely the mark of a great design.
Best of OPC.

That is the freshest 5 door hatch I've ever seen.

Wouldn't be one bit embarrassed to drive this.
I had this same car in black!! It was my first car, I bought a 1981 used in 1988. Everyone loved it, thought it was "cool". Go figure
