As a matter of fact, John, Datsun/Nissan sportscars have ALL been named
"Fairlady" in Japan, right up to the 350Z (or whatever the new one is). It
seems that the head of Datsun/Nissan was given a tour of the American auto
industry to impress him with our power and skill, etc. This was at the time
that the musical "My Fair Lady" was playing on Broadway, so tat was a part
of the wining and dining. He loved it so much that he named the new sports
car being designed the "Fairlady".
