Truly, "they walk among us..."

Did a charity exotic car show in downtown Tulsa this last weekend.  Two 
women happen by looking at the cars.  One that seemed to have had a few 
'pops' asked if mine was a Delorian.  I said no that it was a DeTomaso 
Pantera.  She said that was her next guess.  Momentarily here friend 
wondered over to her and ask what kind of a car was she looking at.  She 
replied " Everyone knows that it is a Demataso Ponderosa."  At least they 
didn't think it was a prototype Fiero. The Tuesday night show and shine some thought it was a kit car and wondered 
where I had purchased a kit car with a steel body.  Others were astounded 
that they were building cars in 1971 with twin turbos.
Alas edu-ma-cating the unwashed and partially polished is always a 
challenge. DeTomaso headquarters Nowata, Ok,
