Posted May 5, 200420 yr comment_79761 I have acquired two glove box doors. One has the 'Datsun 240Z' emblem on the top of the door and the other on the bottom. What is the correct one for the Series 1 and when did they change ? Seems strange why they did change them to me - why was this done ?

May 5, 200420 yr comment_79779 You come up with some of the best questions! :classic: I will go take a look, but I think the emblem on my glove box door is on the top. I don't know if I ever saw a low emblem. Pictures? Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/11579-glove-box-doors/#findComment-79779 Share on other sites More sharing options...
May 5, 200420 yr comment_79783 Chris, you have good recall..............mine is at the top of the glove box door as well (HLS3002126 Manf. date 3/70). I'm curious about the other type too!

May 5, 200420 yr comment_79789 Mine's on the top as well (9/71). I'm kind of surprised that Datsun would have put the emblem on the bottom. The glove box door curves enough that it would be hard to see the emblem down there. Can you post a picture?

Wild guess: Is the emblem upside-down on one door and you were looking at it wrong?

May 6, 200420 yr comment_79995 I want to say mine (5/72) is on the bottom right, but it might be top right...I'll have to check sometime tonight. This is a really interesting question!!!

May 7, 200420 yr Author comment_80094 Well done MikeW, but you're only half right in fact as the emblems actually both appear on the right hand side of the door. The total solution came to me in a blinding flash last night - a bit embarrasing really - still 'never be too afraid to ask' is my moto.So who can complete the mystery ? I'm afraid I have not got any prizes to send to the winner !Better get back to work now (15.15pm in the UK).Dave Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/11579-glove-box-doors/#findComment-80094 Share on other sites More sharing options...

May 7, 200420 yr comment_80109 Originally posted by DJACEY(UK) So who can complete the mystery ? The only way it would look proper on the bottom right (when looking at the door upside-down) would if someone installed the emblem upside-down on the top left.
