In 1938 Japan was already at war in China. The rugged and very economical Datsun 17 Sedan was hugely popular. The exterior was not much different to that of the "16", but a thick vertical bar in middle of the front grille distinguished it.
As cotton and wool were scarce, the cabin interior had a very simple finish. The 722cc engine was a side valve (SV) design.
