[DML] Re: Hood emblem what year?

[Mike Substelny <msubstel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Up until a few years ago the inventory of original DMC parts was housed 
in the Kapac warehouse in Columbus, Ohio.  For at least the last few 
years of the warehouse's existence they had an annual warehouse tour, a 
one day event at which you could buy parts at drastically discounted prices.

I attended several of these events.  One of the most popular items they 
sold was the front "hood" emblem, which was sold at giveaway prices.  I 
bought several myself.  These metal emblems have an adhesive back and 
can easily be retrofitted to earlier DeLoreans.  As a result, I expect 
that there are dozens of DeLoreans which did not originally have the 
emblems but bear them now.  Obviously these cars have been modified and 
should face a point deduction in any serious concours competition, but 
it should be a very simple matter to remove the emblem with no damage to 
the car.
