George Barris

["Randy Atamaniuk" <martydmc12@xxxx>]

Maxim Magazine currently has a special Movie Edition out, called MAXIM GOES 
TO THE MOVIES (www.maximmovies.com).

About half-way through the magazine, there is a two-page article regarding 
Hollywood Star Cars,
featuring George Barris (www.barris.com). And in this article, along with 
the General Lee, K.I.T.T.,
Ecto-1 and many other star cars, the Back to the Future DeLorean is 
featured.

A small blurb under the photo of the DeLorean, Barris, states that he worked 
with John DeLorean in helping design the original DMC-12, and later worked 
on the Back to the Future DeLorean.

Both statements are completely FALSE! Many of you know very well, that 
George Barris had absolutely
nothing to do with the DMC-12. And as for the BTTF DMC, all film-used cars 
are property of Universal Studios, and no BTTF DMC has been made available 
for public ownership. Yet, Barris claims he has an actual film used car. 
Again, FALSE.

I have seen Barris' BTTF DMC up-close, and let me tell you, it is absolutley 
nothing like the Kevin Pike designed car. Far from it! The fact that 
Barris goes around making these statements is absurd, and yet I cannot see 
why Universal hasn't yet stopped him from using this as his promotional 
tool, when it's simply not true.

As for the story of him now working with J.Z.D. on the factory car, what can 
I say. What can anyone say?
