[DeTomaso] Oh Really... Me too.

I did too (grew up around Fords, that is).  Mom had a Model A as  her first 
car.  She just loved them even though they were about 25  years old.  I recall 
once when I was six, the top was so  tattered and it was raining. I had to 
hold an umbrella above our heads  while she drove on the Hollywood Freeway. I'm 
sure we looked like escapees  from a Laurel & Hardy set. Next she had a '31 
Cabriolet, the rare  one with the slant windshield, totally original and 
unrestored including  the mohair. It's still in the family, now my brother's.  As  
growing up we spent many a weekend at Model A Club events.  In fact Mom  even 
named the Club's Newspaper, "The Rumble Sheet."  That name still  survives today, 
even though she is gone.  She was the best!  Not  only a car gal but a 
professional violinist who came to Hollywood from  NY after graduating Juilliard 
School of Music and winner of the  most coveted Walter Damrosch award.

Don’t get me wrong I like vettes also...it’s just that a  350 was never on 
Detomaso’s list of things to put in the car and I grew up  around Fords.
