[DeTomaso] Pantera in Museum

[LaurieFerrari at aol.com]

Hi all,
I am writing on behalf of Leon Rower of the San  Diego Chapter who does not 
yet have a Forum Account.  He  asked if I'd thank everyone for the great 
POCA Fun Rally. Although he  was not able to be at the entire event due to his 
work schedule, he  did attend the Friday evening Escondido Meet (which  he 
routinely does) the Saturday lovely Embarcadero Show along the edge  of the 
San Diego Bay, and the Saturday night banquet.  At the  Embarcadero Show he 
was approached by a curator from the San  Diego Automotive Museum in Balboa 
Park, who marveled at the  originality and pristine condition of his blue 
Pantera, down to the  original radio, tires, and even lug nets. He was invited 
to have his  car on display at the Museum, so as of yesterday, there is 
where his car  will be for the next six months.  In keeping with the  topics of 
discussion of the POCA Board, it is the duty of us  all to spread the word 
and share knowledge of our Panteras with the general  public, and thus Leon 
is achieving that.  Perhaps this  may inspire not only mature but younger 
people to learn more  about these wonderful cars.
 
So a big thanks from Leon for the recognition  through his affiliation with 
the Club. Needless to say he is very  proud and excited.  If you are in the 
San Diego area, stop in to see the  display.
 
Best to all,
Laurie
 
p.s. In case you recall a blue Pantera on the front of Hemmings a  while 
back, and on the Buyers Guide, this was Leon's car as  well.
