Type 46-II [1952]
With the introduction of radical new models, development resources were drying up for other segments of the car market. As a stopgap, some old models were updated instead of having a new replacement model. One such update was the Type 46 series II, introduced in 1952. This facelift included new engines that are larger, more powerful and more efficient than the previous engines, as well as tweaked design cues for a fresher, newer look. This new series of the Type 46 only included the 2-door passenger models, the truck and van models were not updated.
