May 18, 200816 yr comment_247880 Carl;When I read this, my thoughts were that he was referring to either it's "code" name or it's "project" name when in the design/ prototype stages.He may be referring to the story that the Z was named for it's "project" name because Fairlady wasn't acceptable to the US market, or the story of where it was named Z because it's the last letter in the alphabet, another variation being that Z is the last letter of the Japanese alphabet... which is ludicrous since they use symbols and not roman letters.Maybe this will helpE Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/28133-car-names-factory/#findComment-247880 Share on other sites More sharing options...
