A Salina man, and his beloved sports car, are featured in a national publication this week.

On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal featured a story on 71-year-old Roger Morrison, and an Italian sports car he has owned for forty year.

Morrision bought a 1974 De Tomaso Pantera slightly used in October of 1975 for $9,000. The car was built by De Tomaso in Italy, and imported by Ford.

Morrison said he was attracted to the car because it was fast, had Italian styling, and with a Ford engine it could be serviced locally.

He offered it for sale once in 1979, but had second thoughts.
