My white 71 240Z made it too. I also have shots of a couple of friends Datsun race cars on the covers.

Mine made the back cover. I had forgotten submitting the Z and Roadster for this event. A friend spotted it on line, called and asked if it was mine, sure enough, then it hit me. 'My car made the cover of a magazine?' Well, the back cover and the size of a postage stamp. I am thrilled.:love:

They hid mine under the "N" on the front cover. It isn't pretty enough to be visible. LOL

Is the back cover shown somewhere on their site?

Just a heads up that many of the Zs posted in the recent "Show us your ride" thread were selected for the historic Fall 2008 cover of Nissan Sport. To see if you made the cover or back cover of the magazine, go to www.nissansportmag.com. Also note that if you want extra issues of the magazine, you can order them through tonight, midnight, for $4 each. To get the deal, you have to contact me directly with your address and cc info at editor@nissansportmag.com or call 505-890-1764.

As Sarah mentioned, that issue covers 50 years of Nissan history in the US, with a huge emphasis on Datsun. The feature is so big (written by Merlin Blackwell of DatsunHistory.com), we had to reserve 27 pages for it. It includes details from an unpublished internal Nissan book, interviews with the names synonymous with the day (Gable, Usami, Parker, Jordan, and others), and stories of Mr. K that reinforce his legacy. And, of course, the legendary introduction of the 240Z.

If you guys don't love this issue, I'll give you your money back and then give you an extra $5 out of my own pocket. It's that good.

I merged the posts from the other thread into this one. Might as well all be in the same place.

For everyone who didn't make the cut, your car is under the bar code....

But seriously, if you are a fan of Datsun, you are going to love this issue. It should mail from the printer Wednesday or Thursday.

Dave,

Did the Fall issue ship? If so, I never got mine :cry: It's the one time my car will ever make it on the cover of a magazine and my proof got lost in the mail. :stupid:

Did everyone else get theirs?
