Post by: t3skidoo on September 26, 2009, 03:02:48 PM
OCNCS had a gallery of DeLoreans at the entrance to the show, including a mauve one, and another trimmed with purple accents (inside and out).  Maybe about 16 total, a third customized somehow.  IIRC, only one was hotrodded.

Over in Brookfield (5 miles away) in the early summer they have a car show. Back in '86, after the first Back to the Future movie was out, some organization brought in one of the movie DeLoreans. Mr. Fusion and all.
For a fee, one could have their picture taken sitting inside the car with the door up. I didn't do the picture thing, but seeing the car from what was then one of the hottest movies was a neat thing to a 9 year old kid :D

So I can say I've seen a DeLorean in person...touched it even.

I think they're cool...I'd love to have one. Have to build a house around it, and use it for a conversation piece. I sure as hell would never drive it, lol.

Ditto. I see one rolling around at least a few times a year. Cool cars and thanks to the BTTF movies (freaking brilliant movies btw) most people know what the heck they are.

A friend of mine has one with a huge amount of engine work done to it.  Also, there is a dealership a few miles from my house.

I wonder what insurance is on one of them. Its a grand for a new 1/4 panel, 500-750 for a new fender...

No thanks.

there also made out of stainless steel so they wont rust.

About 10 years ago, I was about 12 or so, my dad and I went to a car show as part of a grand opening for some sort of store. There was at least 5 maybe 10 all parked by each other. One had pink plastic stretched over the entire body. Looked like really thick plastic wrap. Everything inside the interior was also wrapped.

One had some type of v-8 in it. I want to say a chevy, but really don't remember too much about it. It was before I was into cars. I was more excited about the one with the fake flux capacitor that didn't light up.

I remember my dad telling me after that when he was a kid, they were on a camping trip to Nevada and they didn't used to have speed limits. He said they were driving their old dodge cornet?, said that they were going 140+MPH and got passed by a bunch of delorians. Said they ran back into them at the gas station, and kept saying that he didn't know why anyone would want to throw a v-8 in one.

I'll have to ask him next time I talk to him. It was a long time ago that he told me that.
