The grille on the 15T is a pressed steel design that is painted the same colour as the body, the new grille stands more upright than the grille on the 14T. The grille itself is much deeper than the chrome plated grille on the 14T. As materials such as chrome were getting harder to source thanks to the war effort in Manchuria, the cars began to use less of it. On the Datsun 15 pretty much all of the grille is painted the same colour as the body, with the only chrome being a thin strip around the outside and a couple of horizontal bars. The cute leaping rabbit from last year has been replaced by an odd stylised mascot that looks almost like a streamlined rabbit with huge ears.
