Background
The Datsun Type 15 was a small car produced in Japan from 1936 to 1937. Derived from the Datsun Type 14, it succeeded the earlier vehicle in production in 1936. It was larger than its predecessor but had less chrome detail due to shortages caused by the conflict in Manchuria. It had a 16 PS (12 kW) side valve engine and was offered in several body styles. The front recalled American designs of the time, but on a smaller scale.
