The Sad Last Days of De Tomaso
These pictures may provoke more questions than answers… by Wallace Wyss – In an ideal world, I’d like to think that, when an automaker phases out production, and hangs it up, that all is done neatly, with the final car rolling out of the factory gates to the blaring of trumpets, dancing girls a-dancin’, champagne […]

Were Panteras Led Down The Wrong Road?
by Wallace Wyss – De Tomaso Panteras are finally getting good money at auctions, but far less than, say, a Maserati Ghibli made in the same time frame.

Orange County Panteras Palooza Meet – May 6, 2018
by Wallace Wyss – OK, I get it. Finally. What do I get? I get it what Pantera owners are doing. I talk about it in a book review of the book Extreme Panteras, but want to re-iterate my change of mind. I used to be against “customizing” collector cars. I mean isn’t it an […]
