this was wedged behind the seat... its circa 1960-65... I also found a Woolverton Motors/Luby motors(Sold Datsuns pre Nissan USA) brochure online listing the 4w61 as a Nissan product... the top speed of this thing is like 45 miles an hour downhill... off a cliff. nobody would drive one from Canada to the Hoover Dam... but lots of people migrated north to Canada, especially during the Vietnam Draft era... COuld this have been a Special order sold in California?

It's in amazingly good condition. Don't know if it came from CA originally, but very possible since that's where headquarters were and all the vehicles came in from Long Beach harbor. Back then people were used to driving slower. ;)
Beyond any hope for intervention
