History

The Datsun 16 was equal to the Datsun 15 except for the arrangement of the chrome trim on the hood . Also, the mechanics of the Datsun 16 was the same as the Datsun 15.

Because of the war in Manchuria, material was scarce and the interior of the vehicle rather sparsely equipped. There was also no own truck variant of the 16, but the Datsun 15 Truck was further produced until 1938, the Datsun 17 and its pickup version Datsun 17 Truck replaced both.
