[DeTomaso] New Pantera?

Larry, were you a writer for the Seinfeld series?

We watch a lot of the Seinfeld re-runs, and thought it would be great to see "re-runs" of them running through the taping of the show.  I'll bet they had a ball, rolling on the floor laughing at each other!  Uh, Elaine was my favorite!   ---BILL L

Dear Chuck,

This brings up an interesting concept of slow evolutional changes, over
years vs. a redesign of a classic that has not evolved.

The Pantera redesigns are all from the '71 model and not the '73 or GT5
models, interesting.

I think the slow evolution changes are more acceptable then a massive
redesign all at once.

Let's look at people in this concept. The cave man was much shorter and
hairier then modern men (like the guys I went to high school with) and would
not appeal to the modern woman (other than the girls I went to high school
with) today.

Dear Jeff,


            I have been thinking about this.   I agree with Tom
Tjaarda's comment.   I also would note three other notable sports cars:
the Porsche 911, the Corvette and the Mustang.   Unlike the Pantera, all
of them have continued through the decades.  Their styling has not
remained unchanged, but has evolved.  The evolutionary iterations of
each have not always been better and better, i.e. the Mustang II.   All
three of them have had very successful designs that incorporated the
fundamental characteristics of their ancestors.

            I do like the recent design although it does not the have
perfect proportions of the Tjaarda design.  It is mostly correct, in my
opinion, and it is unlikely that we shall see a perfect design for the
second generation Pantera.


                      Aesthetically yours,  Chuck Engles
