<font color="black" face="arial" size="2">I <font size="2">believe Euro cars came with the center mounted roof antenna....at least my car did. Most of the pictures I see of Euro cars have this type of antenna.<br>
<br>
I believe the same to be true of hood vents. Post Ford cars sold by Detomaso seemed to have hood vents. Don't know if it was an option or a development to aid in cooling. According to the pictures of my 73 Euro GTS when it was brought over from Germany, it did not have hood vents.<br>

For our 26th wedding anniversary, my wife, Vicki, got
me one of those Kyoshi 1/18 scale Panteras. I was excited to open it,
but when I did I found it to be pretty trashed. The box looked perfect,
but inside the box, the car had a broken antenna, damaged headlight mechanism
(one headlight was floating around loose in the box), broken sway bar, broken
exhaust, and the left, back wheel was dangling by a spring.<br>
<br>
I hope I
can get a intact replacement from Amazon.<br>

>>>That is
a common experience. They got the design of the car all right, and the
design of the packaging all wrong. Unfortunately these are a very limited
item and they are probably sold out.<br>
<br>
Time to dust off your plastic
model-building skills to try to salvage it. :<(<br>

antenna, with the front spoiler, grille, and one wiper fallen off, but a bit of
white glue sorted it out...)</font><font color="#000000" face="Geneva"></font>
