OPENING DAY CELEBRATES 50 YEARS of Zs In April 1969, Datsun introduced the first-ever Z car in America at the New York Auto Show. Fifty years later, NYIAS is celebrating the Z with a parade of historic and current vehicles from the automaker’s own collection plus owner vehicles during the Show’s Opening Day festivities. The event takes place in front of the Javits Center on 11th Avenue and will be officiated by New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo. In addition to the parade, Nissan race drivers will perform stunts and drifting demonstrations for the gathered crowds and media. The New York Auto Show is also pleased to announce that Toyota will once again donate a brand new RAV4 to a military veteran during the ceremony.
