[xs10shl]

Hi Chris,240znz,Grim,Fred

Thank you for enjoying this thread.I have more to show on this topic from Mr.Tamura.

Chris,type A6(convertible) was a very biggining, Mr.Tamura was not inducted to the team yet.Type AC-2 has a lamp case which Mr.Yoshida said "that is my design" ,a little before the AC-2, Mr.Tamura joined as a modeler. Mr.Yoshida left the team after AC-2 completed.

Ohhh, man. As much as I love the coupe, I wish they'd have found a way to make a convertible as well!

When you hear the poetic words from Mr Tamura, you can understand why the S30 was such a winner.

I'm just wondering, but are there any books on this subject, even if it's not factual or correct?

[26th-Z]

I would recommend "Datsun Z - Fairlady to 280Z" by Brian Long as basic reading. That is probably THE most accurate comprehensive book on the S30 type; in English. The pictures I use most often come from a Japanese publication; Car Graphic magazine, issue 02, 1970. Mr. Matsuo told me that a great deal of the information in the article came from Yoshida san. However, the article is the most comprehensive description I have seen on the subject of styling development. It is all in Japanese though.

Thank you for your excellent work on the S30.

If there are parallel timelines as some say exist and we exist on them it might be possible that some of us were involved in the styling design of the Z car, in another time and place.

That surely is the truth, wouldn't we each love to have been part of this magnificent car, the 240Z.

My thanks to Kat. I read all of your observations, as I had no idea of all these happenings. I just know I love the Z!

I now have my second one, coming to me in my second youth of my life. A 1971, and now a 1976 at 72 years old.

Sign me a Zoholic!
