Zulaytr Posted September 22, 2006 Share #1 Posted September 22, 2006 Just a few months ago many Z enthusiasts were concerned about the destiny of the Nissan Heritage Vehicles due to the relocation of Nissan's offices to Tennessee. Well for those who have never had a chance to view them now they can! Here is a press release about an event at the Lane Museum in Nashville. Now the public can see them and appreciate them for their contribution to automotive history rather than them just sitting in a warehouse collecting dust. Watch for more news regarding a new display that will open at the museum in the near future.ZulaytrFor Immediate ReleaseVehicle photos available upon requestFor More Information, Contact:Joan Williams, Office: (615) 742-7445williams@lanemotormuseum.orgRace Car Day at Lane Motor MuseumSaturday, September 23, 2006Activities begin at 11:00 a.m.Nashville TN, August 25, 2006.

Zulaytr Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share #5 Posted September 23, 2006 Hey, that's cool, Bob. How are you doing?ChrisChris,Thanks for the inquiry. I basically parked the 240Z after the convention until the middle of Aug due to the relo from Cali to TN. I am going to a show next weekend near Knoxville with it. Maybe I will see some of the Classic Zcar Club members there? I do have a question for you regarding how good your memory is from the convention judging? I will IM you on it.Bob Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/21665-nissan-racing-heritage-vehicles/#findComment-183422 Share on other sites More sharing options...
