This was 50 years ago ...
The Datsun Baby had all the features of a real-life car, starting with the design which incorporated design cues from the sports cars of the era. It was equipped with a racecar-like 4-wheel independent suspension system with a double wishbone setup up front, an automatic transmission with a torque converter, headlamps that complied with the real traffic regulations of that time and a spring-actuated self-turning feature on the steering wheel. Top speed was limited at 30 km/h (18.6 mph).

That car, IIRC, was used to help teach children how to drive. They only made 100.


Didn't watch the videos, one of them probably says that.

What a blast it must have been to be a kid and get to drive one of those babies! ... In that second video they might have talked about that, but I didn't understand a word they were saying.
