Found Footage: The Woz sells the Datsun 280z

Larry? Leisure Suit Larry? Is that you ?

@Steve
Thanks for the history of Datsun lesson!
I digg that car. They could make a killing if they stuck the hybrid engine in the retro body styling, using the same engine that Lexus is using for their new model.

My dad has that car, except it's a rose color. It still looks great and drives very well (gotta love a straight-6 engine).

As you could see from the slogan card at the end of the ad, it said "A product of Nissan."

"Of course, Murphy's Law states that it had to be for a car company which (in name) no longer exists."

The company still exists. It started out as DAT (an acronym for the first letters of the last names of the founders) then DATSON (SON of DAT) then Datsun (because "son" means loss or failure in Japanese). The marque is still used on pickup trucks in Japan.

Woz was driving a 1981 280-Z so that dates the ad fairly well and is in line with the phase out of the Datsun marque and the phase in of Nissan in the United States. Now, they have partnered with Renault to form Renault-Nissan.

What is it about the Z?

"Its all the pu$$y it gets me."

That's probably the most persuasive car commercial I've seen in my entire life.

Of course, Murphy's Law states that it had to be for a car company which (in name) no longer exists.

Where can I get that car!
