[DeTomaso] Good Press on the Pantera

[Charles Engles]

Dear Mike,

 

 

                    Hmmm.  OK the source of that lovely Pantera picture is
Panteramerica.    But...didn't  Amerisport have a similar tastefully
salacious Pantera picture for their marketing?

 

 

                                                Curious,  Chuck Engles

>>>No, this is Panteramerica, an effort that predates Kirk's affair by some
years.  If you go through your Brooklands books you'll see a road test of
the narrowbody Pantera, in the early 1980s.  This was the same car that was
part of the Popular Mechanics comparison test where the Pantera came out on
top over all challengers.
