[DML] Re: The EARLY Deloreans

["Louie" <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I tend to agree with Robert on this one. And let's think about it 
this way: DMCL couldn't have afforded to allot the first 150 cars 
for strictly factory uses never to be sold to the public. The 
company was already very late in getting the cars into production, 
and were strapped for cash. They had already practiced assembly on 
the "black cars." Why would they continue to essentially throw out 
money by keeping these first cars for company use when they could be 
used for badly needed profit and in turn, PR? They needed to get the 
cars into customer hands ASAP. At the same time there were needs for 
tests cars and the like, and being that the cars were now being mass 
produced all they had to do was chose several. Undoubtedly they 
would use some of the early cars just to get these necessary evils 
out of the way, and also because they likely knew the first run of 
cars would be a bit "cobby" and it would be better to go ahead and 
use the needed amount of cars with these early production cars 
instead of using higher quality later cars which would be better 
suited for retail buyers. I have no doubt that a handful of the 
first 150 cars had some sort of company usage, be it for PR 
purposes, training for workers by rebuilding them, company cars, 
etc; but I have never seen any evidence that this ENTIRE run of cars 
was to be used SOLELY for company purposes and NOT meant for general 
public consumption. Sorry Claude, but you can't badger us into 
believing the first 150 cars were not for the public by repetedly 
insisting your viewpoint is correct, when you really have no 
evidence to back up these claims. If you can get JZD or another big 
wig factory rep to come out and say your viewpoint is correct then I 
might change my mind. But otherwise I see no conclusive evidence to 
back up any of your ideas.
