George Pence.

Euro cars

> The DeTomaso model year was in line with the calendar year I 1971. The
last 1971 Pantera was #2292, built in December 1971. Whereas north American
Ford had been building 1972 model Fords since July of 1971, because they
manufactured automobiles based on the fiscal year.

> The curious part of that difference ... chassis 2292 which was the last
1971 Pantera, probably didn't hit a Lincoln showroom until February or
March of 1972. Ford had been selling 1972 models since September 1971.

> The DeTomaso model year was aligned with Ford's model year in 1973 ...
the DeTomaso 1973 model year was cut short, it was only 6 months long.
DeTomaso began manufacturing 1974 models in July of 1973, just like Ford.
My Pantera is one of them.
