26th-Z

Ranger Rick, Would you please document the Fulda brand tire for me please? If your claim is true, it is the first I have heard of it and would love to see something Nissan that indicates such. Anybody? Carl? Same goes for the claim about #16. I DO really love the story about why #16 sold before #13, but without the papers to proove it, well, it's a lovely story. Many thanks, Chris

Gosh I hate to introduce myself this way, Ranger Rick, but your tires are not original. I haven't actually seen many pictures of #171. Would love to see more. What's your build date? In the presence of Her Majesty the 26th, we refer to color by proper name as a matter of etiquette. You mentioned that #13 was butterscotch and #171 british racing green. You surely meant Safari Gold (920) and Racing Green (907). That would be proper terminology when speaking about such distinguished automobiles. Anyhow, ya'll have fun. I just parted an early car. The floor was rusted all the way across the back of the rear bulkhead and the car broke in half. I managed to nab a pair of tool doors and the rubber tool strap. Got a pair of chrome button coat hooks and one clear grommet. But the find of the century was a pair of vented brake rotors. Woo-Hoo!! Sorry I had to leave the backing plates.

Here is what the tool boxes looked like new. There is also a publication about the toolboxes, but I don't have one. Both of my boxes are missing the tray. One box is the original 'Nissalco' silver. It has a a mylar decal on the inside lid that describes the contents. The other box was repainted black at some time but has a metal contents label inside the lid. It is not the same dimension either.

I have two different boxes and a bunch of tools. Here is what I have.

I just loaded up some more to the gallery. Thanks for the pics!
