Well it almost made the weirdest name catagory according to Forbes... Thank goodness for the Bongo, Naked, Life Dunk, and Toyopet.

My old 63 1500 single carb had a custom license plate

"63 Liza D", as in Liza Doolittle...

I'm going of the top of my head...

Right after the auto show that "Fair Lady" appeared for its unveiling prior to production?

Minh, that is a trick question!!

Along the lines of the subject, you have to be really secure in your manliness to own a Sora blue, correctly badged 63 - 65 1500. They were delivered with FairLady on the side (some dealers substituted Datsun emblems to make them more sellable). Think about it, a baby blue FairLady - not exactly a macho-craft! Add to that lack luster acceleration and those wonderful (?) all wheel drum brakes and you have the makings of an emasculation machine!

Mine will see the light of day one day...
