DeTomaso of America's address was in Livonia (they were a short-lived company 
set up by Ford, and quickly shut down as the whole program was absorbed into 
the Lincoln-Mercury division).   I've actually been there and visited the 
site; the building looks unchanged, although it was empty when I saw it a few 
years ago.

It's possible that he was seeing preproduction prototypes that were there for 
testing etc....
