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

[Will Kooiman]

The green that I like might have even been gulfstream aqua.  It's a light
blue-green - so call it a funky blue or a light green.

I don't remember exactly.  It was about 25 years ago.

I'm not crazy about dark greens on Panteras.  It needs to have a fair amount
of blue in it.

By the way, I had a 96 Mustang Cobra in dark green.  It looked great, but
the car was boooooring.  It felt like my grandma's lexus.  I had to listen
to rap music to keep myself awake on the interstate.

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.
