After a little research on the web, I located a photo of the Datsun Dealer, Troncalli Motors, Decatur GA, who delivered my 240Z, #2483 - Build date 3/70, to the first owner in 1970. 
The new owner was a nurse, she owned it from 1970-1995.
Troncalli Motors was also a Triumph dealer! Now if I could find a photo of the dealer who sold my Triumph 1961 TR3A Hardtop that would be cool.
Originally sold in France! ...Date of Dispatch 7/12/1961. The build sheet from the British Motor Ind. Heritage Trust states the car was shipped to:
Cie du Garages Monceau, Paris, France. 
Searching has not turned up anything yet, Frank T. do you have a "French Connection"?

Photo of Troncalli Motors, Decatur, GA, must have been pre Z cars and the two stable mates:

Frank, not this "French Connection":

In fact, we still do have members in France, but I haven't heard from them in several years. I will snoop around and zee if I can recontact them. Not sure that dealership will still be open, especially after Triumph was retired in 1984. Maybe they sell something else, and it would be fun to find some family member and tell them about your dad's car.

I might be wrong, but wasn't that chase in Brooklyn?

Thanks John ~ but some might argue that I never had it to begin with.

I've spent some time in Brighton Beach, only a couple miles away, and connected by the El.

I lived in Bensonhurst when first married, off 86th street, where car chase scene was filmed. Wife lived in Brighton Beach by the El (elevated train) Frank. Were you lost? LOL.

I wasn't so far from home; THEY were.
Altho Brighton Beach is something of another world.....
but it's fun to shop along both sides of the El.

Yes.. they were far from 'home', but they choose a great place to settle. The shopping was/is "very unique" in that part of the world, in good ole Brooklyn. Especially the food! It's changed hands (culturally) in the past 50+ years since moving to Long Gyland, but is still a vibrant hustling and bustling strip of real estate.

As it turns out, I was also from Brooklyn with my first 6 months on this planet residing at 518 Macdonald Ave. My parent's moved us out on the Island (Levittown) in 1949. I recall visiting my grandmother in Brooklyn. My dad would have to double-park our '52 Studebaker Champion in front of the apartment when we visited. I remember the trolley tracks and the subway which, at the end of Macdonald Avenue, went from street level to underground. That neighborhood has definitely changed!

Some updates on the TR "French Connection".... Some chaps on the UK TR Register
website came up with some information. Looks like the Triumph dealer
lost the franchise in the mid Seventies, the building now appears to be a parking
garage. The UK guys also sent me some print ad files from the dealer.
Sooo the hunt continues....The mid January cabin fever can make you a little nuts!!

["The mid January cabin fever can make you a little nuts!!"]

And for those of us who already had a good head start, that trip is short.

I just watched Agatha Christy's "Crooked House" which features a 1955 Bristol Coupe chasing a nifty little TR3 with two females aboard over a cliff. Thought of you.

That scene raised a lot of dust over on the Triumph websites, too:

Classic Motorsports Magazine website did an an article on
the "35 Classic Cars You Must Drive" this morning, of course our 240Z's made the list!

Scroll down to "Japan Nails...... Nice photo of my Z, the photo of the 240 was taken at the Ocala Grand Prix.
A kart track that they once used for testing.
Author comments: "The Z pulls like a Triumph, redlines like a Jag, and looks like a Ferrari. It has the total package."
I think maybe pulls like a TR6.

Winter is a ............... (fill in your own language)

["I think maybe pulls like a TR6"].

The TR6 would have been a much-better seller had it not been for the 240Z.
As it was, the Z killed the TR-6 sales in this county. Too bad ~ Austin-Healey was already gone and the TR6 might have filled a spot in the hearts of the old 6cyl A-H fans.

During the 1970s British racer Bob Tullius burned up several OHV TR6 trying to beat Bob Sharp in the OHC Z. I think Tullius was marginally the better driver, but Sharp had the better car. If either one had a bad day, the other could capitaliZe on his mistakes and beat him. As it happened, Sharp beat Tullius more than the other way 'round, and the TR6 didn't sell here as well as did the 240Z.

Tullius' Group 44 Racing switched to Jaguars and made history in the bigger leagues.
