[DeTomaso] End of the world Quiz ANSWERS AND PART II

[David in Durango]

Hi kids,

Mayans?  What do they know?

Jerry Knots was the first to identify the car - - - 

"Looks like the early '50 Officine Specializzate Construzioni Automobili MT4.  or  OSCA M series.

At least it must be itialian.

Waiting eagerly,
jerry"

and we must give some credit to Mr. Drew with his wild-assed guess!  Good job Mike - your recall astounds me . . .

Now for part b of the quiz:  The 1972 running of the Cannonball Baker Sea to Shining Sea Memorial Trophy Dash had a de tomaso car entered!

What car? (placed fourth maybe? 38hours and 2 minutes) Who were the brothers that owned and entered the car? 

and the question I cannot answer - if you have access to the "registry" is should be there - What happened to the car?

Have fun.

  >>>That's the OSCA 750S that was shared by a wealthy heiress from New Jersey named Isabelle, and an ambitious Argentinean name Alejandro...among other things, they took 8th overall and first in class at Sebring in 1958...here's a photo from that race:

  If my memory is correct, the chassis number on the car is 760....
