Call for Entries Forest Grove, OR. Concours d' Elegance '70-'79 Z Car Class July 20th 2014

Northwest Z is soliciting owners of original Datsun Zs in model years 1970-1979 for potential entry into the Forest Grove (Oregon) Concours d'Elegance scheduled for July 20,2014. It is a one-day show held on the grounds of Pacific University.

Forest Grove Concours d'Elegance Classic Car Show: The Art of Italian Motoring - Also celebrating 50 years of Ford Mustang and Pontiac GTO

This will mark the first time that the Datsun Zs will be eligible to enter a class dedicated to the presentation of the marque.

The Forest Grove Concours is highly-regarded in the Pacific Northwest, and features Sports, Exotic, Antique and Classic Vehicles in a high state of restoration or preservation. To be eligible for consideration cars should have an appropriately high level of fit and finish, and the emphasis will be on original equipment, paint colors, fittings, trim, running gear, etc.

This is not an Open show. The Z class will be limited to no more than six entrants. Modified cars will not be eligible for this class, but could be entered into a separate Modified class. (See the concours website for further information on the Modified class.) This is not a sanctioned ZCCA Show.

There is no entry fee into the Concours for those accepted.

Please e-mail:

You will be forwarded or mailed the submission packet for initial consideration. Submissions must be received not later than April 30, 2014 for consideration. Entrants accepted for the show will be notified NLT 15 May. We request that those accepting the invitation let us know NLT 30 May so we can know whom to expect.

The Datzun Z class is co-sponsored by Tonkin Wilsonville Nissan and Northwest Z.

It is great to see the Z Car Class added to this Concours event. I am hoping that other Concours events will follow their lead and start including the Japanese car classes. Until then we are relegated to 'Preservation' and 'Special Interest' Class.
