The meaning is the same as model code.
The Model SF's wheelbase was 2,500 mm, or 87 mm longer than that of the preceding SD model, making the cabin more spacious. The SF employed a rigid axle and leaf spring system for both front and rear suspensions because of its durability and robustness, and adopted cylindrical shock absorbers and soft springs to improve ride comfort. The curved windshield expanded the driver's vision. The SF came with the Type S power unit, which was a water-cooled inline 4-cylinder side valve engine with a displacement of 995 cc (65 x 75 mm) and an output of 28 PS.
The Model SF proved popular as a taxi, and became a hit with production volume reaching 3,653 units by August 1953.
