The release of the Sunny was marked by a massive publicity campaign that asked the public to find a name for the new vehicle. This fitted perfectly with the era of the popular vehicle, and led to the launch of the first generation Sunny in 1966. The original Sunny was simple, with only a single 2-door sedan body variant and two grades, standard and deluxe.
The Sunny found a place in the heart of the mainstream popular vehicle market and its release was seen as marking the dawn of the family car era.
Subsequent changes in customer tastes led to a number of model changes and the introduction of various body styles. Variants added in 1967 included a 4-door sedan, a sports car with a 4-speed floor-mounted gearshift, and a model with a torque converter. A fastback style Sunny coupe with curved glass was introduced in 1968. |
