VLVL(4)(c) L'il Hustler

[Vincent A. Maeder]

	"This turned out to be a Datsun L'il Hustler pickup..."  (VL,
Ch. 4, p. 35)  Datsun's "high trim version" of the Datsun 620 Pickup
introduced in 1973 and sold until 1979 when the 720 replaced it.  The
620 had a 4-banger pushing out all of 96 horsepower.  Interestingly,
there was a "Son of Li'l Hustler" known as the 1800 Pickup.

	"But it was actually the camper shell, covered all over with
cedar shakes in some doper's idea of imbrication and topped by a pointed
shake with a stovepipe coming out, that seemed to be the problem."  (VL,
Ch. 4, p. 35)  Because of the diminutive stature of the 620, camper
shells tended to dominate the vehicle's momentum.  To get an idea of the
issue, check out this image:

seen one of these campers, perhaps it's merely a screen memory.  I bet
Mr. Wood knows:
