April 5, 201410 yr comment_445140 for those of you that are diehards and really want to get into zama,i've found the japanese page for the memorial garage tour.They have 3 tours a month. im going to probably ask my wife or one ofher friends to call them and see if i can get a june tour.their telephone in japan 050-2029-5549 probably only japanese speaking person on the other end.Google TranslateThis cut n paste is from autoweek magazine. I would hope this is not going to happen to the collection.maybe time is of the esscene to get in to see it. The articlewas written january 2014. Eiichi Shimizu, a retired manager from Nissan's domestic market section who now is one of Zama's tour guides, confesses that there are other holes in the heritage collection."We're missing so many models," he sighs. "We're hoping enthusiasts out there who own them will donate them to us."Shimizu says the collection lacks Nissan buses and work trucks. But, he says, "They're not hard to find on the road -- but people who own them tend to drive them until they're worn out."The building used to hold more than 400 cars, he says, but it was getting too crowded.So, Shimizu is asked, where will the heritage center museum put all the additional cars he wants?"Space is an issue," he agrees. "We're actually a little worried about that. Lately, we're feeling pressure from the plant here. They're threatening to take this space to expand production of battery modules."If that happens, I will have to appeal directly to the president of Nissan to stop it."
