Picture from wikipedia entry on Z's

I saw an oder model Z in the Century City parking lot.  It was definitely a 70's model and it looked a lot like the FairLady in the picture above.  I am not an enthusiast enough to know what stage in restoration the car was but I know I was quite taken by it.  I walked around the car admiring it.  My age was in the one-digits in the seventies but I remember this being one of the more prominent cars of the time.  By prominent I mean seeing it often.  I think the design easily rivals a car that was dramatically less accessible to the average consumer; the Porsche 911 was around at the same time.

The Nissan looks a lot more sleek, I think.  The shape communicates function better.

I think I'll leave car critiques to experts.  But my point is that I might just walk by the latter but stop and awe at the former.

Have a nice week!
