Re: [MBZ] DeLorean facts??
There were three gold ones, they were some credit card giveaway. An auto museum in Reno, NV has one. The other painted ones were from just before the company folded. The last cars were built with blem panels, then the blems repaired and the car painted. Memory serving me, these were red.

Re: [MBZ] DeLorean
There was a little car show here weekend before last and there was one there, the full stainless steel body. It looked really nice, no dings or anything. --R Donald Snook wrote: I went up to my Indy's yesterday to sign some paperwork for the sale of the BMW and he was working on a DeLorean.

[MBZ] DeLorean
I went up to my Indy's yesterday to sign some paperwork for the sale of the BMW and he was working on a DeLorean. It was a customer's car. The guy has owned it since new, it was an '82 - which is, I think, the last year they made them. What a cool looking car and what a odd thing to see in Wichita, KS. They were really crappy cars, but very interesting and unique! Donald H.
