has anyone answered the question? why is it called fairlady or how did it pass to be named that

A quick search returned this.

Quote:

Fair Lady and later Fairlady - The name given to the first line of sports cars designed and built by Nissan Motors Japan after W.W.II, with the specific intent of being marketed in the USA - 1960.

The name "Fair Lady" was given to the new sports car line by Mr. Katsuji Kawamata, President Of Nissan Motors Japan, after he attended the Broadway Musical "My Fair Lady" while visiting the US in 1958. He felt that the name would invoke an image of beauty for the car - because people would think of the beauty of the music and the leading lady in that Broadway Musical.

This is a common and accepted practice within the Japanese culture for selecting automotive names. It is not a usual cultural method here in the US however - so Nissan more commonly used engine size and model numbers as Model Names for the US market.

I don't see how this makes car forums a joke. I didn't know this place had to be all up tight and walk with your nose in the air. Car forum or not we are a pretty small community on here and nothing wrong with having fun and joking with each other. When the question got asked it got a good truthful answer and then we all had fun and made it entertaining. Thats what it is about.

Let me rephrase this.

Have you ever read Camaro5?

you don't want to ever turn into that
