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 (43.5 mph). Leaf springs were used in the suspension, and a 3-speed manual transmission was specified. Four people could ride in the DC-3.
