[DeTomaso] DeTomaso Digest, Vol 64, Issue 22-Jon Long

[Art Stephens]

     #4268 had the small bumpers and the old style/two pod dash. Sorry I 
smashed up one of our cars with some numerical significance.  I will try to 
be a better steward of #2556.  I'm also glad to be vertical,  I wasn't quite 
ready for the pine box!
