Father of iconic Z dies at 105...



Yutaka Katayama, the father of Nissan's; Err Datsun's; Uhm? Why does that old Dot-Soon joke come to mind? Iconic 240z Sportscar has died at the remarkable age of 105 in Japan. As the 240Z, and more importantly its "Big Brother" 280Z hold a significant place in my heart. So thank you Nissan executives for sending Mr. Katayama to your automotive Siberia,; Uhm, Southern California to fail!
