datrod Posted September 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 So how many of you clowns are going to come to the museum. Man if your local you should try and make it. I was down there yesterday and it really looks like a real automuseum, Tons of cool stuff. :cool: And cool old ass cars. When was the last time you saw a 1938 datsun. Or a super clean 1963 Datsun truck. They are going to have food and music. Should be a good time. Plus they need your support. You do love Datsuns Right? Quote Link to comment

Duncan Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 I went, I was a bit underwhelmed. I may have been looking at some historically significant Datsuns, but there is no signage on any of the cars. Unless you know the history of the vehicles prior to the visit, the signifigance is lost on us non-racers. When I was there, not ONE person was looking at the vehicles. About 20 or so people were sitting at the tables giving the sandwiches more attention than the vehicles. I gave someone's new GT-R more attention in the parking lot than I did any vehicles at the display. Quote Link to comment

I'm sorry you didn't enjoy your visit.:( They put alot of wotk into that thing, I had some nice signage for my car but they didn't use it. I'm sure it will get better. You have to realise that pretty much 2 or 3 people put that together with no help from Nissan or any orher sponsers. Some I'm sure will think they would have done a better job setting it up, But if you want it better jump in and help them out. Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Good point. So,,,,,, can WE help them out? I mean, who has compiled more information than most of Us on here? If We knew what direction the museum was headed, each of Us could take a task to get it a really nice museum. Point in case: One of Us could document ALL Datsun ads that We know of. Another could find dealer locations (as suggested on another thread). Another could document all factory rims (steel and mag type) as well as hubcaps. So on, so on and so on. There are enough of Us on here to get it done pretty fast. Just a suggestion. Quote Link to comment
