In Hershey, Pennsylvania, a Datsun 280Z that hadn't been washed for over 44 years was discovered. It was inherited by a man whose wife's father originally owned it. The car had only 350 miles on it and still had its original dealership tags and protective plastic coverings. Despite its age, the interior smelled new, and the car had been left untouched since its purchase. A detailing team cleaned and restored the car, maintaining its original parts and stickers. The car was then revealed to friends and family, looking as if it had just left the showroom floor after nearly 44 years.
