Hello Fellow Z Enthusiasts,

I took a day off to visit the Datsun Heritage Museum in Murietta, California.
The address is: 41610 Date St, Murrieta, CA‎ 92562.
They are open to the public on Saturdays Between 10:00AM and 3:00P.M.
Group Tours Can Be Arranged At Other Times By Calling The Museum At Least A Week In Advance. Phone: 951-696-1087



I was greeted by Mr. Fred Jordan.
"The Datsun Heritage Museum is really the brainchild of Fred Jordan.
Fred was the Sales Manager for one of the first DATSUN Dealership in the US. Fred also founded the Z Car Club of the Inland Valley (ZCCIV) and has had a very close relationship with Mr. K for decades.
Fred is first and foremost a 'DATSUN Enthusiast', and perhaps one of people in the US with the longest personal history with the marque." quoted from www.zoominfo.com.



I was given a personal tour of the museum by Ms. Johnnie Gable.
"Johnnie Gable worked for Nissan for 32 years, started in parts department later became Mr. Yataka Katayama’s secretary.
Mr. Katayama was President of Nissan Motors North America until 1977.
Mr. Katayama is now retired.
Johnnie attended Harbor College, Johnnie is now retired but remains very active in the Datsun Community." quoted from The Datsun Heritage Museum.
Ms. Gable is a proud owner of a 1972 240z previously owned by Mr. K.

Here are some photos of the Museum:





















The museum is a wonderful place to see collectibles that are still driven and to learn about their history.
The staff are true enthusiasts who eat, sleep and breath datsun/nissan.
This is a great place to bring the whole family.

Thank you for your time,
Lboy06.

 

How completely cool is that! I had NO idea. It is SO close to where I live. Wish I could make this event. I'll be in Lawndale getting an aftermarket grill and front bumper side reflectors installed. Will try to come by if work finishes early in the day. Regardless I'll be checking out this museum soon! Thanks SO much for sharing!
