Hi everybody,



I've been meaning to send this little nugget to the list for quite some time.

 The time is now.



This is a excerpt from an article in Motor Trend August of 1972:



International Report

Pantera Sales top all Exotics.  Lincoln mercury has delivered 364 Detomaso

Panteras since the sporty two seaters introduction in may of '71.  March '72

sales accounted for 110 registrations, a figure that exceeds American sales

for each of the other exotic Italian sports cars for all of '71.  That means

that Ferrari, Maserati, et al, are getting their comeuppance from the new kid

on the block.  The Pantera is sold by 125 Lincoln Mercury Dealers is 58

cities.



The next paragraph was a report on Japanise cars with none other thatn

Pantera Internationals own Wally Wyss reporting!
