[DML] Warranty Card Information

["James Espey" <james@xxxxxxxxxx>]

DMC (Texas) acquired a coupe thousand warranty cards from the KAPAC parts
purchase in 1997. Since then, the pertinent data (VIN, interior color,
transmission type) for all these cars has been entered into the "DeLorean
Production Chronolgy" (DPC) that is maintained by Knut Grimsrud.  The
chronology, in PDF format, can be found here:

If, in the remarks column, it says "Warranty Card", the card is on file at
DMC (Texas). Generally speaking, there are no cards for cars sold after
December of 1981 (VIN 5000). Why this is the case is open to speculation. I
was told at one time by Leif Montin that after that, the original DMC layed
off the data entry department. There are also many cards missing in between
0635 (earliest card on file) and 5000. I was told that when KAPAC owned the
parts (and cards) they would allow owners to find their own card and keep it
when they visited the warehouse.

In any case, if you car shows up on the DPC with "warranty card" in the
remarks, contact me at james (at) delorean.com and I will forward you the
other info that is on the card. We will not sell or mail out the original
cards, but I as time permits I will fax copies to people for their own cars.
