When I was a kid my father was travelling a lot around the world. He usually bought me college- and T-shirts on the airports while waiting for the airplanes. I specially remember one from Houston-Texas, that I was really proud of.
Coming back from one of his journeys he gave me the Astro 1, that I always thought of as a James Bond car.
What is the relationship between the Panther and the Astro 1 ?

Panther-pic from John R. Hooper´s book.
