1991 Nissan 300zx Spyder (Retractable Hardtop)
Added on Sept. 7 by asc300zxspyder

Introduced on March 3, 1992 at the Geneva Auto Show, this one-of-a-kind 300zx Spyder was the first modern retractable hardtop convertible & the first production ready convertible Nissan Z.

Developed and engineered by ASC (American Sunroof Corporation/ American Specialty Cars) and built by Mike Alexander (of the famous A-brothers) at Metalcrafters; the 300zx Spyder unveiled ASC’s radical new articulating hardtop system which revolutionized the modern convertible and ushered in a new era of hardtop convertibles. The system would later go into production with the Mitsubishi 3000gt Spyder, Mercedes SLK & Peugeot 206cc.

I own the only one! It was the concept that led to the 3000gt Spyder when Nissan passed on the technology because of costs. It was in the 1992 Paris, Detriot and Geneva auto shows.
