[DeTomaso] Pantera that was delivered to Ford Executive

[Mike Drew]

Ed,

Lots of ford execs were able to get company cars. Some asked for trucks, or lincolns, and some asked for Panteras. 

Asa Jay's Pantera was originally a Ford company car as I recall. I think it actually belonged to a guy who worked for some Ford electronics subsidiary or something like that?  They would get the car for a year and then turn it in to be sold.
