		Qvale’s attitude was that since he couldn’t beat him he needed to hire him - so he did.
		Qvale and Huffaker came back in 1965 with a monocoque bodied race car, but the suspension, built in England, simply did not work and at the last minute hard rubber was substituted for the "Liquid Suspension" design.
		Qvale was asked to let the American cars in, and that annual show is now called the San Francisco International Auto Show, second largest on the West Coast after the L.A. show.

		Qvale, a San Francisco-based retailer --best remembered as the owner of Jensen during the Jensen-Healey era --reached an agreement in March 1998 to build, distribute, and sell De Tomaso models under license for the world.
		Qvale, run by Bruce Qvale, sometime SCCA Trans-Am race-car driver and the son of company founder Kjell Qvale, has discovered what Ford, DaimlerChrysler, and Fiat, even Frank Williams, have learned: Business with Alejandro de Tomaso is never straightforward.
		Contact is via the lawyers, although Qvale managing director and former De Tomaso executive Giordano Casarini is conciliatory, to the point of preferring we write little of this strange state of affairs, for fear any words would create more tension between the warring factions.

		Qvale has been a successful automotive entrepreneur for more than 50 years.

	BW Online \| May 7, 2001 \| "It's a Qvale." "A What?"
		Qvale President Bruce Qvale, longtime distributor of expensive European cars, and a few other family members took over the project from carmaker De Tomaso--whose principal, Alejandro De Tomaso, once owned Maserati--when it ran short of cash.
		At first, Qvale was selling the car for $84,000--$7,000 more than a comparably equipped Porsche 911.
		While the Porsche 911's six-cylinder, 300-horsepower engine is more sophisticated, the Qvale has the kind of raw American power that has been pretty much AWOL since fuel-economy regulation axed the muscle cars of the 1970s.
