" The "new" De Tomaso is DOA.". Sad but hey, that means I just saved $$$s, I
can pour them into my classic Pantera :-)

All,

When I talked with Tom Tjaarda at Monterey this past August he was of the
opinion that the new De Tomaso figureheads were basically running a scam to
get what they could out of the Italian government for reviving the defunct
firm. That the Deauville project was just the 'salting' maneuver to keep
things moving forward, but he felt they would fold and the entire venture
would fade away into the sunset.

I offer the following -

SpaItalia - featured marque was De Tomaso. No factory presence in sight.

Frankfurt Auto show - No factory presence in sight.

L.A. Auto show - remember, it was to be the scheduled debut site for the
"new" Pantera? 
                           No factory presence in sight.

Sure looks like Tom was right.

The "new" De Tomaso is DOA.

Long live the "old' De Tomaso.  :-)

Larry
