Join owners and fans from across California, the United States, and beyond for an unforgettable weekend featuring classic Datsun Roadsters, 411s, 510s, 240Zs, pickups, and other vintage Datsun models from the 1960s and 1970s.

A Solvang Tradition Since 1987

The Solvang Datsun Roadster Classic began in 1987 and has grown into one of the premier gatherings of classic Datsuns on the West Coast. Traditionally held during the last weekend of April, the event brings Datsun owners and enthusiasts together in the beautiful Danish town of Solvang, California.

Each year, First Street comes alive with rows of classic Datsuns and the people dedicated to preserving, restoring, driving, and enjoying them. For longtime owners and first-time visitors alike, every Solvang Datsun Classic offers something new to see, another story to hear, and another reason to return.
