The Datsun DB-6 was introduced in 1954 and was the last vehicle in the DB series. The DB-6 was in production for only a short amount of time, with the first cars rolling off the line well into 1954, and the last one built in December 1954.
Visually the Datsun DB-6 is identical to the last of the previous Datsun DB-5 in every way. The only significant difference between the two was that the DB-5 had a three speed gearbox, and the new DB-6 has a four speed. It continues to use the 860cc 25hp side valve D-10 engine.
Production of the Datsun DB-6 finished in December 1954, there was no direct replacement for the DB series. In January 1955 Nissan released the completely new Datsun 110 model, the first car in the series that would eventually become the Datsun Bluebird. Technically the Datsun 110 was the replacement for the Datsun DS series, which was sold alongside the DB series throughout the first half of the 1950s. Nissan would offer the Nissan built Austin A40 and A50 as their more upmarket cars until the Nissan Cedric was released in 1960.
The sedan was the only version of the Datsun DB-6, no other models were built.
The Datsun 6147 was based on the same chassis and mechanicals as the DB-6.
