Current revision
The Datsun B10 model line was marketed as the "Datsun 1000", starting in 1966. This was the very first Datsun Sunny. Variations included KB10 (Coupe), VB10 Wagon and B20 (truck). KB10s were introduced in Japan as the 1969 model Sunny Coupe in October 1968, & this '69 model was made untill June 1969. The 1970 model was introduced in Japan from July 1969 & according to the info available, manufacture ended in December 1969. Van and Truck are the commercial models.
For the Nissan B10, see Nissan Almera Classic/Nissan Sunnyᵂ

[edit]
Name
The "Sunny" models started in 1966 with the B10 "Datsun Sunny 1000". The "Sunny" name was a trademark owned by Sony, so Nissan had to make a deal to get access to the name. Why go to all the trouble? Because "Sunny" was picked by consumers in a Japan-wide contest!
Ratdatᴬᴿᶜᴴᴵⱽᴱ: 1966 was also the year that the very first Datsun Sunny arrived. The B10 model was a simple but well engineered car that was received well in both home and export markets. It provided just the right combination of comfort, performance and economy for a small car and in Japan heralded the beginning of what was to be known as the "my car" era, a time when everybody could have their own personal car. The name "Sunny" was actually chosen by the general public after Nissan ran newspaper ads inviting people to name the new model to be launched soon. Nissan received nearly eight and a half million reply postcards in a month! The name Sunny was finally chosen because it fitted the cars image of "bright, lively and youthful".
In Japan, the B10 was marketed as the Datsun Sunny 1000. All the Japan-market brochures say Datsun Sunny. However, the new Sunny brand-name was emphasized, with 'Datsun' in smaller letters.
Japan-market brochure
This advertisment has "Datsun" in katakanaᵂ (ダットサン) between the 'S' symbol and Sunny 1000 (サンー1000)
Notice it also says "Nissan Sunny" at the bottom (日産サンー)
Although marketed and sold as a "Datsun", in Japan the 1000 marketing effort highlighted the Sunny name and was sold in Sunny Shops, and so did not come with any "Datsun" badges or emblems. Only the engine rocker cover and the ID plate said Datsun.
[edit]
Export
In Export markets, the name Datsun Sunny 1000 was not used, but only Datsun 1000.
Australia didn't see the Datsun 1000 Coupe version of the KB10 until sometime in the first half of '69 and of course, cars still held in stock were still being sold well into 1970 & possibly even into 1971. The only info I have on the model year is the chassis bumber KB10-080,001. From this number & upward, they were '1970 models' while anything under this number is a '1969 model' regardless of when they were actually constructed.
In Thailand, there was an assembly line where POST 2Dr, 4Dr and VB10 were built.
In Canada, left-hand drive versions of the Datsun 1000 2-dr and 4-dr sedan sales started October 1968.

Production Figures
This table is Record of Sunny 1000 - Export Results from the book Nissan Information, Datsun Sunny 1200 by Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. (1970).
- The first column is Year. Showa 41 is 1966. Notice that '44' (1969) only includes the first 11 months -- is that because B10 production stopped then or because the book was published before the full-year results were available?
