No love for the 260z?
Cool that you posted the 260 instead of the more-loved 240 and 280.
A "rich kid" friend had a 260 Z in '77 and gave me considerable g-force experience racing between stoplights...
Fun times.
I'm going with two decades and two cars.
1960s: '69 Corvette Stingray:
What I was thinking!
V6 Accord Coupe with the Touring package (fully loaded + navigation dashboard & other perks)
oddly enough, my "regular" Accord gets better gas mileage
If it wasn't for the Honda emblem on the grille, I could easily mistake that for every other wrong wheel drive $h!tbox on the road today.
1960 Plymouth Fury
Square steering wheel with clear plastic of sparkling metal flake, rear view mirror mounted on dash, gear shift was buttons on left side of dash.
My grandmother owned one and would damn near run us kids over backing up because of the blind spot
caused by the tail wings. In 1961 they completely eliminated the wings...apparently they were a hazard and returned the rear view mirror to the normal placement, top of the windshield.
If you look closely you'll notice the gear buttons only show R-D-2-1. Park was the white pedal on the floor above the highbeam button.
Hi-Fi AM radio, speedometer that goes to 120 and the Fury could easily reach it.
Yep, cruisin' down the highway, going 120, one arm on the steering wheels, the other around my date, listening to Wolfman Jack.

lord that is a thing of beauty, is that a stylin dashboard or what ? I would love to own one of these, I would drive it everywhere. People would point and say "look at that goofy f#*ker driving that weird car and I would just smile and be so very happy.

You would, until it blows the doors off your hooptie of choice
Throw enough money at anything and you can make it fast.
Who remembers DeSoto? My neighbor had a '57 just like this one.
Speaking of pint-size cars...the Auburn American Bantam. There used to be a minty one on display in a storefront in my hood. We used to gawk at it and wonder if it was a real car. It was.
