With the pantera,Detomaso used the Vignale factory in Turin to produce the
cars body,they again subcontracted some of the bodystructures to a company
called Maggiore.Finished car bodys including dashboard and AC-equipment were
transported by trucks to the Detomasofactory in Modena for final assembly
and a claimed test drive by famous testdriver Guarino Bertocchi when
finished :)

GTS but Claudia wrote back and said my car was build and sold by Vignale
and she
didn't have the records. Not real sure what that means but the """"
I'm not sure what that means either. How did Vignale relate to Detomaso?
