    Datsun DC-3 1951-1952

    The Datsun DC-3 was a light weight automobile produced by Nissan and sold under the Datsun brand in the 1950s. The series was a predecessor to the Fairlady sports cars, and succeeded the pre-war Road Star. It was powered by an 860 cc straight-4 engine which produced 20 hp (15 kW) and could propel the DC-3 to 70 km/h (43 mph) . Leaf springs were used in the suspension, and a 3-speed manual transmission was specified. Four people could ride in the DC-3.

    Another picture and more info.

    In May 1951, a new passenger car (DB-2) and a new truck were launched, both equipped with a new 860cc, 20hp engine. In January of the following year, a body designed by Y. Ohta was mounted on a chassis with this powerful engine and launched as the "DC-3". Its smart looks and comfortable ride made it a popular choice, but production was limited to 50 units.

    How popular can a car sold to only fifty people be?
