To commemorate the day 249 years ago when declared our independence from the British crown. This Tomica Nissan Fairlady Z has nothing to do with that, but a few years ago Japan’s favorite diecast toy company released a series of cars decorated with flags of the world. The cars were released exclusively via the Japanese grocery store and home goods chain Apita, and this Z sported USA livery that we thought would be fitting for today. Happy Independence Day from JNC!
Question, what was the first Japanese make and model to.be “Made in the USA”?
I remember the 1983 Nissan 720 pickup being made in Tennessee but I don’t believe that was the first. Anyone know?
Good question! Honda had Nissan beat by one year. The Accord began production in Ohio in 1982.
