[DeTomaso] Paint schemes

[Tom Shinrock]

My '73 GTS came over from Germany.  The guy I bought it from 25 years ago brought it over.   He stripped the car down to bare metal and built it back up but he took a couple of pictures of what the car looked like before it was restored.   You can see these pictures on the PROVAMO detomaso registry (VIN 5186).   The car had a custom paint job which I'll try and describe.

The car was a dark blue and had light grey/silver accents that covered the top of the front fenders, the top of the sail panels on the rear deck and on the raised rib on the center of the rear deck.  There was a accent colored pin stripe around these accents.  Very 70s.

Aside from complete or modified GTS black & ? Paint schemes, the odd
Leopard spotted car and The Rose/purple car with gold plated parts, have
there ever been any really exceptional paint jobs on a Pantera?

In a Louis Vuitton print campaign I recently used a 1958 Mercedes Benz 220S
phaeton pontoon convertible ( something close to that ) with a stunning,
although barely perceptible two tone paint scheme ( a slightly lighter
industrial green on the sides and a darker version of the same color
industrial green on the "top" ( hood, cowl, trunk lid). It was really nice,
had to walk right up to it to verify that it was actually two colors.

Wondering if any cats were fashion forward as well and if so, how so and
where the lines were drawn.
