The PL410 again grew in dimensions by a few inches (length about 4 meters) and received a more powerful 1.2-liter engine (55 to 60 SAE-PS). The offer included four-door sedan and five-door station wagon 2/4-door sedan a 3-door light van with 3- or 4-speed manual transmission and leaf-sprung rear rigid axle.And a sport model, the Bluebird SS, was launched in Japan in March 1964, with a tuned 1.2 L engine. The SS was available only in a four-door configuration (MTK), and two-door (RTK). A small facelift in 1965 gave the Bluebird the type number PL 411.
