[scott black]

Fellow DeTomaso and Italian Car Nuts,
   
  ItalianCarFest Weekend ‘07, the largest celebration of Italian cars in the Southwest, is fast approaching on September 21-23, 2007, in Grapevine, Texas.  Last year, DeTomaso was the featured marquee with Tom Tjdarda as the honored guest.  
   
  This year’s event will honor Lamborghini, host the final round of the national Best Spider Challenge and welcome longtime Lamborghini employee and factory test driver Mario Fasanetto.  On Saturday, 160 spectacular automobiles and approximately 30 two-wheeled vehicles will be displayed along the shore of Lake Grapevine at Oak Grove Park.  
   
  Panteras typically are a big part of the event.  Car show admission is $10 per person (children under 12 and parking are free) with portions of the proceeds benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.  
   
  Lamborghini will be honored while 1968-1985 Fiat Spiders will be the featured models.  As a special treat, a red 1967 Lamborghini Miura will be displayed.  The Spider display will be highlighted by the crowning of the top Fiat/Pininfarina Spider in North America during the final round of the Best Spider Challenge. 
   
  ItalianCarFest Weekend ‘07 will kick off with a Friday evening reception at the Gaylord Texan Resort in Grapevine.  ICF participants and sponsors will be welcomed by Miss Texas and enjoy hors d'oeuvres, vino and refreshments with fellow aficionados.  The main event of the weekend, the Saturday Concours, will be held on Lake Grapevine at Oak Grove Park from 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.  
   
  One of the highlights of the Concours will be a Winners Circle that will include a display of 2006 Best of Class winners.  A custom designed art glass piece from the Blenko Glass Company will be bestowed on the winner of this class, designated Best of the Best.  The Best of Class, Best of Show and Best of the Best winners will parade their cars to the awards area.  
  
That evening, ICF entrants and sponsors will enjoy a cocktail hour and silent auction, followed by dinner.  Mr. Fasanetto will deliver a presentation on the company’s history and its design heritage.  The event will be held at the Gaylord Texan Resort after the Italian car show on Lake Grapevine.  On Sunday, Lamborghini Dallas will host a scenic drive and brunch.
   
  The event is produced by the Italian Car Club of the Southwest. Information is available at http://italiancarfest.com.
