at least for Datsun/Nissan enthusiasts...
Just came across a small blurb today on a small museum opened by one of the original employees at Datsun in its earlies days. Located in SoCal this museum has some truly great pieces of memorabilia on hand--and even better stories.
Like this gem from the linked article below: Did you know why Toyota's FJ was so popular in the U.S. to the point that they are still well known today some 40 years later and Toyota reinvented the vehicle as a modern SUV in recent times? Well, one major factor was that a handshake agreement between Datsun and Toyota in the 60's kept Datsun from importing its famous offroad machine, the Patrol, to the U.S. so long as Toyota kept from importing its 2000GT sports cars so that Datsun could succeed with its 240Z!
Its nuggets like that which should drive you to visit the museum if ever in the Murrieta, CA area...
