The Datsun 240z…Origin of the Species

Filed under: Automotive History

Through the spirit of Datsun brotherhood Dave B gave the shop a copy of this old hardbound issue of Automobile Quarterly. It features an in-depth look and history of the Datsun 240z’s creation and design influences, written by Terry Greenfield. I have never read it before and I was super stoked to see Datsun roadsters described as the “roots” of Nissan sportscar heritage. From racing roadsters to Albrecht Goertz and beautiful images this is a must read for Datsun/Z enthusiasts. Enjoy!
