The quirky and versatile Datsun 410 and 411 series sedans and wagons laid the groundwork for the 510.

Are you still looking for the "three switch" Choke, Wiper, Headlight center console? I have 2 that have the left opening repared as in epoxied and spray painted black, and both have the left bolt fastener to the main console broken out [but still awaiting enough epoxy and fiberglas patch to restore them to full function] and the chrome trim ring. They will install and function but for longevity the missing bolt attach really should be retrofitted. Being not pristine I offer one free, pass on the favor to someone else, just provide a mailing address if you still have the car and want the part for your own use! I will even include the Datsun parts box at no extra obligation! I have owned and maintained my 1967 RL411 since the day I bought it new, and have hoarded replaced parts ever since. 411 and 410 parts for the most part interchange.

^ VERY cool!

On mine, I bent a thick piece of metal to hide behind it... it takes the stress of pulling the switches and allows the plastic panel to "rest."

Regarding color combos, on a 410, it's easy. What was the original body color? You should be able to tell from an interior panel. The rest is simple from there, as 410 wagon interiors were (to my knowledge) all black with cream headliner / pillar trim.
