Has anyone got any photos of the Modena factory in it's heyday? Something a little more cheery? There's some b&ws of the Pantera assembly lines we've all seen, but those aren't from the Modena facility are they?

The b&w photos taken during the Ford years were taken at the Vignale coach works in Turin (uni-bodies being assembled, painted, etc) or the Ford assembly plant in Modena (the U-shaped assembly line where engines & suspension were installed). There are also various pictures taken at De Tomaso's two assembly plants, the first one at Via Peri, which is where De Tomaso operated during the Mangusta years, and during the early Ford years. De Tomaso sold their holdings in De Tomaso Incorporated to Ford circa the second half of 1972, and moved to the final facility in 1973 at Via Emilia Ovest, 1250.
