Nissan Heritage Collection Coming to Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals in 2014

CARLISLE, Pa. - April 4, 2014 - PRLog -- Since 1986 the Carlisle Import & Kit Nationals has offered a unique showcase of foreign classics, kits and replicas.  Annually, the automotive world converges on America’s Automotive Hometown, Carlisle, Pennsylvania to see not only the best cars from around the globe, but also some of the coolest kit cars ever created.  This year’s event, May 16-18 at the Carlisle PA Fairgrounds will not only spotlight at least eight different countries’ automotive creations, it will welcome a very special display from Japanese automaker Nissan.

The Nissan showcase is two-fold.  First, Nissan is bringing six cars to the event that are part of its North American Heritage Collection.  These cars span several decades of production and will include some rare beauties!  Planned for the second weekend in May is a 1961 Fairlady Roadster which is 1 out of 217 ever made.  Next, guests can check out an all original 1969 Datsun 1600 Roadster that has only 789 miles on the odometer.  Further Heritage cars include a 1995 Nissan 300ZX SMZ, an original 1972 240Z and the two best selling Datsuns, the 510 and B210GX.

In addition to the six collector classics, Nissan will also have on display new models from its 2014 line up for spectators to check out, including the new Nissan Versa Note SR.   By having new cars onsite alongside their Heritage Collection, guests have a chance to see in person the vast history of the brand.  For both the new and old Nissans within the display at Carlisle, a representative from the brand will also be on hand to talk about the collection and the exciting features that today’s models bring to the table.

“I have a long history with Datsun and Nissan vehicles from restoring Datsun Zs to rebuilding wrecked Nissan trucks so this display is very exciting to me,” said event manager Ed Buczeskie.  “I started this relationship with Nissan USA last year when I worked with them to display Peter Brock’s Datsun 510 BRE racecar and in just one year it has grown into this,” continued Buczeskie.  “It’s also great to include the local dealer, Brenner Nissan, as they are providing all of the new cars for display and they are assisting with the Heritage Collection.  To top it off, Brenner is planning to bring a 2015 Nissan GTR Premium Edition that we’ll display in Building Y.”
