[DeTomaso] GT5S poster - Still looking for this poster/ any info of company origin/ or bigger picture

[Peter Havlik]

I have a four page foldout foldout centrefold-type poster of a black GT5-S that I have scanned in high resolution and can email in PDF to anyone who is interested. It is not an art shot, because it has multiple photos of the car from the top, front, sides and rear with text highlighting and pointing out the features of the car (including one that claims the rear wing is made of carbon fibre - if only!). Joe Nardo from Sydney, Australia gave me the original to scan, which I returned to him, and so I don't know where it was originally published but it would have been in a magazine or a book.

>>> It's from the December 1984 issue of Motor Trend magazine.   It's a GT5, 
not a GT5-S--it predates the entire notion of the GT5-S.   And the company 
in question is Stauffer Classics, run by George Stauffer, in Blue Mounds, 
WI, which is still doing great business in exactly the same place it was back 
then.   George imported the GT5 to North America, with help from Kirk Evans. 
 Kirk then became the distributor for the GT5-S and George bowed out.

Contact George and he can probably help you.

Cheers!

     Apparently the company folded early on.

     It's from the December 1984 issue of Motor Trend magazine.   It's a
