[DeTomaso] Make Designation in California?

[Jeff Cobb]

   The original Michigan registration of my Mangusta list the MAKE as Mangusta.
The word MODEL is not on the sheet.
It spent its first 16 years in the Ford Design Center being changed around and had 
so been closer than maybe any other goose to being called a Ford.

Yet June16, 2015 it won the Best Ford @ EyesOnDesign out of a 33 Ford car range that Eugene Bordinat 
designed while head of Ford Design and in Edsel Ford's backyard. 
Go figure, makes no sense.
DeTomaso was the manufacture and Ford only supplied engines.
