[DeTomaso] Reno Pantera Count

Wed Jun 17 22:36:30 EDT 2009

I announced at the Banquet that we had 64 Panteras at one time at the Plaza. 
I have no doubt that some may have left as cars were coming and going. One 
was on a trailer on the side street.  Marshall Smith counted 72 Panteras at 
the event, 1 Mangusta and 2 GT40s

Also, at the car show, Merry Dalcino apprised me that 28 had wipers and 29 
personalized plates.
