Re: [DML] Re: The Rare Deloreans

[kKoncelik@xxxxxxx]

John and I had this conversation years ago in Cleveland when we had the  show 
at the Crawford.  That question was asked a few times if my memory is  
correct.
The first production 
HEAR THIS 
PRODUCTION
car was bought by the museum to have as the FIRST DeLorean off the  
PRODUCTION line
It has vin 500 and it had at that time I think 8 or so miles on it.
The museum has this car and its claim to fame is that it IS the first  
PRODUCTION CAR off the line.  That means it was meant to sell because it  was bought 
by the Museum.
 
So if Vin 500 is the FIRST PRODUCTION car and John had said that VIN  500 was 
the beginning of production of the DeLorean Then that is good enough for  me. 
 
These cars were to be sold.  Vin 501 and 502 were done to help promote  the 
turbo and then these cars were to start rolling off the line (slow  production 
at this point) but sold.
I saw two more of these cars in Columbus and the owner was telling me they  
were pre production cars but he bought them off a dealer I believe. The vin 
tags  were a bit different but that was about the only thing I could see that was 
 anything significant.
 
So I hope this helps as John himself considered VIN 500 to be there first  
Production car.
There were many changes in there first 100 cars as they did not build many  
per day and made changes as they found issues.
