[alfa] Re: non-Alfa Mangusta item

[George Graves <gmgraves@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

That's not what I meant. I mean that Giugiaro penned the design during 
the Bertone "era" of his career(1965), and that the car has many of the 
styling features that characterize his best Bertone work. But you are 
right about the coach builder. All Mangustas, including the 1966 Paris 
Show Car, were fabricated at Ghia (which De Tomaso had recently 
purchased and to which Giugiaro had recently moved from Bertone). Sorry 
for the confusion. I should have made myself more clear on that point.
