Just a dumb question

I would assume that they paid for, say, a 2-year contract for the website as opposed to a month-to-month deal. I don't think there have been any updates to the site in literally years. The website appeared when DeTomaso got all ambitious and hired a PR manager, a new president, and was actually kinda serious about making a new Vallelunga. I expect that they signed some sort of long-term agreement, as the site hasn't been touched since.

The PR manager left, Alejandro left too (but went a little further away), and any momentum the company might have had was lost .

This may be a dumb question too.. but what happend to the DeTomaso name? I mean who owns the right to the name now?

Just a guess, probably the deTomasos.

When I was at the factory last year at this time, the outgoing manager (who was the incoming wrap-up attendant) told me that Mrs. Detomaso owns it all. And although many offers come and go for the company, the name, and the assests (like the warehouse full of parts that I saw)she's not interested in selling.

Her prized horses were still feeding there last summer.

As for the web site, for $50 a year it can remain active and alive.
