One more... but not on the track....

That style of tail light was originally used on the Alfa Romeo 2000 built between 1967 and 1971
The yellow car is using a different style of tail light which uses a different lens and a different housing. It was never used on the Ford cars but was installed at the factory on some of the later cars. That style of tail light was used on the Alfa Romeo 1750 built during the same period. It is often referred to as the GRP4 tail light.

and pre Ford Pushbuttons use also those taillights ?
Simon
Bora
Kamsin
All Panteras, push buttons included, used only those two styles of tail lights. I’ve never read anything on the reason for the introduction of the second design during later production.
small volume coach builders very often source some of the components for their new models from previous vehicles.
The Ford style tail lights, remember these were originally from an Alfa Romeo, were used on the Maserati bora and the Maserati Kamsin and the short-lived Bricklin.
The windshield wiper assembly used on our cars was originally installed on jaguars, and our steering column was sourced from the early Ford capri.
And of course our Girling brakes are certainly not sourced from Italy😁😁

This was the largest gathering of Panteras in the history of Willcox!
Let's not forget our Inde Motorsports Ranch driving instructors. Jake Powell (on left) and Adam Powell (on right). They kept us safe on the track all day and did an excellent job of instructing.
