While I was chatting with Tom at Concorso, someone else asked about the number of cars he
designed or was involved with, and his answer was maybe between 70-80!!!

Does anyone have a list of cars that received his touch?

Just wondering as some Benelli bikes were designed by Ghia during de Tomaso ownership in
the 70s.

I spent time talking with Tom about his other work but didn't realize that he may have
been involved with the bikes also.

they were talking about. Compared to what?. That FIA Cobra handled like a dream -- and was
fast too." -- Dan Gurney

As far as I know he never did any motorcycle work?
