Hi George,
When in college I aspired to become an automotive designer but decided to move toward architecture because entry level automotive design amounted to the likes of designing door handles and license plate bezels and was simply to limiting for me. My love for cars persisted on an aesthetic level, but motor mechanics have always remained a mystery. To me the Pantera is a logical statement of form and function without going over the top. I have owned my Pantera for 39 years and it's still a thrill to drive, and it show well. My classmate Tom Gale pushed through this tedium and became one of the best automotive designers of our generation.
Thank you for your elaborate and understandable explanation. I think I knocked on the right door for an answer.
