Purchase History

One of two Winston-Salem Datsun dealers sold the 1963 Nissan Patrol to a local physician, Samual Clay Williams and his wife, Mary Basher Williams in 1963.They were the original owners.The Nissan Patrol models were sold through the Datsun dealership network.This 1963 Nissan Patrol is a numbers matching, time capsule that I purchased from the original owners.I have a clear, Missouri title in my name and a copy of the North Carolina title in the original owner's name.The 1974 North Carolina state inspection sticker is still on the window and is legible.This was the last inspection and oil change that was performed on the Nissan Patrol before it was put away in a shed.Mileage at that time was 5,302 miles.The Exxon Master Maintenance Oil Change Sticker is also affixed to the driver's door jam and it also matches the mileage of 5,302 miles.
