NON Mopar dream car. What would it be?
Those cars were so badass, but why did they have such a GHEY name? lol
Mr.K, as the Nissan/Datsun world knows him, who was in charge of the Z projects actually had a thing for cross culture marketing.
All of the numerical names were for the western culture market and the other english names (Sunny, Bluebird, Fairlady) were for the eastern culture market.
The very first 500 of the Z cars actually came across in shipping with Fairlady badging. He had them removed before delivery and replaced the badging with 240Z plaques.
The numerical names, 510, 1600, 620, etc. Don't really do anything for me. The Z was used for it's recognition in the American performance world.
My Dodge Charger doesn't actually say Dodge on it anywhere. While I sort of feel robbed, I can't decide if they did it on purpose, although I wouldn't doubt it. I kind of like it.
