Final Nissan Z-Car to be Inducted Into the Petersen Automotive Museum

Marking the end of an era, the last Nissan Z-car imported into the United States will be donated to and put on display in Los Angeles' Petersen Automotive Museum during ceremonies to be held on Wednesday, August 28.

The Z-car model line, which evolved through four generations over the past 26 years -- from the original 1970 240Z to the 1996 300ZX -- not only became the fastest-selling sports car of all time, but established itself as a classic in terms of automotive styling and performance. Additionally, Nissan's Z-car was the first breakthrough vehicle in the United States for any Japanese manufacturer, beginning a new chapter in American automotive history.
