PL510 / WPL510 chassis codes
Datsun 510 VIN Decoder and Registry
The first-wave 510 decoder focuses on the common left-hand-drive PL510 and WPL510 model codes documented in Nissan service material. It identifies the body family and production span without pretending the prefix contains an exact model year.

Decoder reference
What this decoder page is designed to answer.
PL510 is the core 510 chassis family
Nissan service documentation uses PL510 across left-hand-drive 510 sedan configurations. PetrolJunky recognizes the prefix and stores the individual serial as the vehicle identity.
WPL510 identifies the wagon
The W prefix distinguishes the wagon model code. That lets the decoder separate a 510 wagon from the sedan without asking the visitor to select body style.
Exact year dating will be added only from reviewed serial data
The current 510 rule reports the 1968–1973 production span. It does not divide that span into model years from an unsupported serial estimate.
