The Datsun DA was a small automobile produced by Nissan and sold under the Datsun brand as Nissan's first post-war passenger car. The DA was introduced in 1947 and was based on the Datsun 1121 truck (which itself was based on the pre-war 17T truck); it used the 722 cc Type 7 side valve engine from the 17T as well as the floor-shift 3-speed manual transmission. The only change made to the DA was a redesigned rear section in 1948. The DA was in production for less than a year before being replaced by the Datsun DS Series in mid-1948.
