Japanese Classic Car Show (JCCS) 2016

[RiverPatrol]

Last weekend was the 12th annual JCCS event. It keeps getting bigger and better every year. The last two years Nissan has finally made a corporate appearance at the show, and it was quite impressive. This year they displayed Lou Bircheff's 1969 barn-find Patrol next to a 2017 Armada. The Armada is now based on the global Patrol platform, no longer the Titan. This was to display the Old vs New, Nissan DNA. Lou's Patrol also won Japanese Nostalgic Car's Preservation award at the previous Nissan Jam, a very prestigious award. I have to admit that I am envious, but this Patrol certainly deserves the respect.

Nissan also chose this event to debut the 2017 $175,000 600 horsepower GT-R NISMO, something that is normally saved for major International car shows like Detroit or New York.

Thank you for this show update. I never met my buddy from Columbia in NO so he may not have been able to come up so that shows remains in limbo for me.

If we can get just one Patrol on the road we will have book ends for the Big Bend Patrol; an Armada and at least one vintage Patrol. I have two part time teams working on CCV 5 now. It is going so slow the paint and body will have to wait to next year. In fact, it is such a rust bucket I will likely be the one customer who buys every panel both Ron and Troa can pound into shape.
Patrolling on prayers,

Here’s my contribution to the Nissan DNA archive

And when I bought the Murano I had to show the dealer the title for the 67 Patrol to qualify for the Nissan loyalty rebate. Bet that made Nissan HQ in Torrance CA, blink.

And here’s what’s left of the Versa
Nissan builds pretty tough vehicles.

Glad you are OK, assuming everything IS OK!

Hope everybody is fine. Looks worrisome...

Sorry
Did not mean to scare folks. I was impressed by how tough the car was absorbing the impact of a head-on and a testament to Nissan engineering. Everybody is alive. Don’t worry.
