These lucky attendees, who probably all have heads of gray now, got to see it in person. Did they fathom the sports car revolution that was about to transpire when the car before them was unleashed to the public? Tonight, nearly 51 years later, we can be these young men as Nissan unveils the long-awaited seventh-generation Z online. JNC will have our impressions of the Z Proto, with photos, here at 5:45 pm Pacific Time. Stay tuned.

I’ve owned my 72 Fairlady for 46 years. Paid $1800 for it in 74 in Yokosuka
Wow! I bet you’ve got some stories with that car. Do you have any pics or an instagram or anything?
