Reply to "Spreading the gospel."

very, very, cool story DeTom. Thanks for sharing that my friend.

By the way,

Alejandro = Argentina

Alessandro = Italy

I have seen documents from the '70s, signed by Mr deTomaso, signed as Alessandro. The very earliest press releases announcing the agreement between Ford & deTomaso, also referred to him as Alessandro. I can't say which he preferred, Dave A or Kirk Evans would know. It may have changed as he grew older.

Were you aware that the deTomaso symbol, the one everyone refers to as the Isis symbol, has nothing to do with Isis? The blue & white background are the colors of the Argentinean flag, the symbol is a stylized "T", it was the family symbol used to identify (brand) cattle on the deTomaso "estancia" in Argentina. Seems Mr deTomaso was proud of his home country, even though he was living in Italy.
