Datsun Go will hit the streets on March 19. But did you know that it was exactly 100 years back that the first DAT was born in Japan. The DAT eventually became known as Datsun which went on to sell literally millions of cars around the world until the company was shut down in 1986.

The Datsun then is a brand with a rich heritage and one new Datsun owners should be proud of. In its rebirth the Datsun might be building small and cheap hatchback and MPVs, but back in the days the brand used to make beautiful cars such as the Fairlady and the Roadster.

Recently, an American by the name Scott Fisher from of Las Vegas, Nevada went on an eight month long road trip across the U.S, covering 60,913 km and his travelling companion was a 1967 Datsun Roadster which he calls 'The Optimist.'

Petrolicious has made a wonderful video which tells you in brief about Fisher's journey and how he came to love his trip and his car. Why are we telling you this? Well, for one, this video will give you a glimpse of what Datsun was like in its heydays. But this is more than just that. The video teaches you how to enjoy life and live it to the fullest.
