When I pre-ordered my 2003 Nissan 350Z, they were available in black, pearl white, dark silver, light silver, dark red, bright red, a really vibrant blue, and this one: Lemans Sunset.
(Not my actual car.)
My first reaction was, “Hell, no! There are no other cars that color.” Then when I thought about it a while, I realized, “Hey! There are no other cars that color!” So I got it. And I loved it for the decade I owned it.
Since then, Nissan and other makers have released other models in that coppery color, or something similar, but I think the Z was the first mainstream car with that look.
When I first saw a Z in Daytona Blue in the flesh, I was a little sorry I hadn’t chosen that, because in person it has a real pop that the brochure and even this picture don’t quite capture. But there are lots of blue cars. My Lemans Sunset was unique.
