Thanks, I was curious because the Marti report on my car 3072 says it was first delivered to Ford Motor Co. Dearborn as a public relations staff, type: pool vehicle.
Where my other Pantera 2152 says delivered to Peyton Lincoln Mercury in Long Beach, type: retail.
Here is the Marti.

Gene owned it until his death, whereupon it became part of his estate
given to the University of Southern California. The University
typically ends up storing donated vehicles in perpetuity; however,
someone managed to get the executor to pull some strings in order to
sell it instead of letting it languish in a warehouse.
I managed to purchase it and become the second owner.
I have no other details on Mr. Hickcox. It might be kind of cool to
know more about him.

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.

Is this just folklore or did it really happen? Do you know the month
/ year, what color the car was, any details, who the Executive was,
etc?
When Ford ordered a car that was a staff pool vehicle and not for
retail sales, what did they generally do with them? Auto shows,
advertising, etc?
Would the Ford Executives car have been ordered that way from the
factory? As a staff vehicle?
Thanks, Ed
