DD>>>There WAS a "210" (I never heard of the "B") from '53-57.  They had the
DD>>>150, the 210 & the Bel-air.
You're right -- there was a 210.  OK, the 210 was SOMETIMES called
a "B series" (with 150s being the A series, Bel Airs were series C, and
Sedan Deliveries were series D), but it was never called a B-210.
That was the Datsun.  A B-210 is sorta like saying "wet water."
The series letter B was actually used in a couple of ways on cowl
tag numbers: B on the tag on the door pillar post referred to a 210
with a straight six (VB meant a 210 with a V8 engine); it was the
first letter of the VID number.  Anywhere else, and the B meant that
the car was assembled or produced (or both) at the Baltimore plant.
