>>>True, but don't forget there were two separate, parallel De Tomaso 
companies during '73-74.   One was the subsidiary of Ford, wholly owned by Ford, 
that was responsible for manufacturing cars, while the other one was wholly 
owned by Alejandro De Tomaso and was responsible for distribution everywhere 
outside of North America.
