The Model AB Phaeton was an open-top version of the Model AA. Although it was a commercially available production model, most of the vehicles were painted in khaki and delivered to the Japanese army with the codename ABR, and few were sold to civilians. While the mechanical components were basically the same as those of the Model AA, its coachwork was more than just that of a roofless AA sedan. The windshield was different from the AA's, and the rear-hinged rear doors were replaced with front-hinged ones. Also, the rear seats were moved further back to provide space for auxiliary seats between the front and rear seats. A total of 353 units were produced between 1936 and 1938. The Model AB was initially priced at 3,300 yen, 50 yen cheaper than the Model AA.
