[DeTomaso] Green versus (Was Re: Mecum Indy Spring Classic/74 Pantera)

[Christopher Kimball]

I really like dark green.  

Such as, maybe, a dark, metallic green.  

Say, like a dark, metallic, Cadillac green.  

For instance, the dark, metallic, Cadillac green that's on my car...

I think one of the most beautiful Panteras I've ever seen is Markus 
Woehler's original silver '72 Pre-L.   That color (the De Tomaso silver) has a lot 
of green in it (ironically enough), and is really striking.   Whenever he 
pulls up to a group of Pantera owners, all conversation stops and everybody 
just admires his car, which is otherwise completely unremarkable.
