In 1964 Datsun acquired Cony. That company had a lot of leftover parts from the production of the Guppy. 100 cars were made and fitted with new bodies and equipped with controls for children. An all steel surround bumper was added along with a speed limiter. They were donated to the Kodomo amusement park where a closed course was built. Children as young as six learned to drive.
The Baby was powered by a 199cc single cylinder two stroke engine. it was dtuned to produce 9.5hp. The Baby weighed 950lbs and was limited to 9mph.
The first photo was taken after a full restoration and placement in the Nissan Heritage Collection in Japan.
