DeTomaso Mailing List: April 99, Message #28

I would call Les Gray in AZ W-602-437-3324; H-602-820-2776 regarding
parts...he has some stashed away and what he doesn't have he probably
knows who does.  As far as the "warmth" while driving...you don't ever
need a jacket in the car!  The angle of the windshild guarantees a good
tan and the need for a really good anti persperant all year long.  Summer
just means that you carry a towel with you at all times, and if you
really want to look good wherever you are driving to....make sure you can
take a shower when you get there!
