Panasonic had a custom order program in the late eighties, early 90's call "PICS" or something like that. I would have to search through a bunch of magazines to find it. They also included a Titanium bike if I am not mistaken...
OK don't have to look in magazines thanks to Bob Hovey's Masi site:

One of you guys may just luck out. It's too short for me. It does fit my girlfriend, but she doesn't like to be hunched over on road bikes. We shall see.

I finally looked at the serial number in an effort to decode it. Anybody got any ideas?

Did you try the Yellow Jersey in Madison WI? The guy there appears to be a Panasonic expert and still imports a Panasonic tourer.

Best source for Panasonic bicycle info I have found is this site. It is not complete, but does have quite a bit of information.
