The Concorso Italiano is NOW about 6 weeks away. Concorso Italiano Web Site
It is part of the west coast's big annual classic car multi-event gathering. It is billed as the largest Italian car show in the world. It is also the one event each year in which the De Tomaso entrants are directly hosted by Pantera International (i.e. Debbie and I). We always look forward to meeting new people, and getting reacquainted with old friends too.
This year we are celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Mangusta!
Tom Tjaarda shall also be in attendance.

We sincerely hope you'll consider joining us this year, if not as an exhibitor, at least as a spectator. Yes the hotel rates go up during this week, but there are ways around this, contact us for ideas. We'd love to have you join us at the lovely hotel where we stay! Remember, exhibitors at the Concorso are representatives for De Tomaso owners world wide, we need to make a good showing for the marque, and bring our exhibitor numbers up because the more exhibitors we have the more respect we get from the event organizers. And of course the more exhibitors we have, the more the world takes notice of our marque.
The event is held at the Black Horse Golf Course in the city of Marina, a beautiful setting with the Monterey Bay in the back ground. And of course the entire week's events are held in the beautiful environs of Monterey and Carmel California, and California's scenic central coast. There are several car shows, auctions, the Laguna Seca Historic Races (which are renamed this year "Rolex Monterey Motorsports Reunion"), the Pebble Beach Concourse, etc. There is lots to see and lots to do.
