Datsun DA
The Datsun DA was a small automobile produced by Nissan and sold under the Datsun brand as Nissan's first post-war passenger car. The DA was introduced in 1947 and was based on the Datsun 1121 truck ; it used the 722 cc Type 7 side valve engine from the 17T as well as its floor-shifted 3-speed manual transmission. Datsun also offered the Deluxe Sedan with more modern ponton bodywork alongside the lower cost DA Standard Sedan. The DA had a simple pressed metal grille when first introduced; by 1949 this had been replaced by a more ornate chromed unit. The DA also received a redesigned rear section in 1948. The DA was in production until 1950 when it was replaced by the Datsun DS Series.
