DeTomaso Mailing List: July 99, Message #309

Yup, my POCA membership appl. is en route from Shane. So, I'll join
and then buy the books.  Only reason I asked, is I saw the Passat commercial,
and thought the pantera's color looked kinda like grabber blue; didn't
know how much input Ford had in the matter.

thanks

Uhhh, Steve... these cars were built and painted in Italy, using European 
paints. Colors were (for instance): Verdi (green), Rosso (red), Acqui (blue) 
and so forth. No Mustang paint names were used. You really need to build up a 
DeTomaso library- this stuff is in the Illustrated Parts book (both the old 
orange one and the newer black one). For less than $100, virtually all of the 
DeTomaso-specific pubs are available thru the POCA store. Right, Asa Jay?
