1966 Datsun 1600

The Datsun 1600 was first introduced in the 1964 Tokyo Motor Show. It was a beautiful roadster that made for a perfect upgrade of its predecessor, the Datsun 1500. At first glance, the Datsun 1600 makes for a beautiful two-door convertible that just inspires us to drop everything and go for a road trip to the beach.

But more than a perfect companion for the sunny days, this Japanese classic was a high-performer. It was powered by a 1.6 L R16 I4 engine and a 4-speed synchromesh manual transmission. The Datsun 1600 is said to have inspired the Nissan Silvia CSP311 line of sports coupés.
