The Datsun 1600 is part of the Nissan Bluebird range of medium-sized cars launched in 1957.

Australian versions of the Datsun 1600 were delivered either as a full import (1967 and early 1969), or assembled in Australia from local and Japanese parts. Australia officially only received the four-door sedan and station wagon models.

A facelift in 1970 introduced a safety-style dashboard with recessed round dials, larger tail lamps with additional chrome trim in the lens and detail changes to the grille. Automatic versions were a special import, built up, and only if (limited) import license was available, and a few 'SSS' sedans were also imported fully assembled. The 1600, popular for modification and racing, not least due to its independent rear suspension (when contemporary rivals like the Ford Cortina and Toyota Corona had live, leaf-sprung rear axles), was replaced by the 180B in 1972 and was sought after used for many years afterwards.
