The Fairlady 1600, better known in North America as the Datsun 1600, was among the more interesting Japanese creations to capture the hearts of sports car enthusiasts. The handsome body is finished with features like a surprisingly modern arrangement of coil-sprung, independent front suspension, and rear leaf springs.
