Cleveland souvenir
- From: Printed Drinkware Company <drinkware@xxxx>
- Date: Wed, 26 Apr 2000 10:17:28 -0400
Is there any interest in a souvenir clear acrylic glass, 16 oz., with a DeLorean logo ---
wings up view, and some copy about Cleveland 2000? Cost would be $5.00 each,
which should be a reasonable price for everyone. Since I'll be driving, there wouldn't
be a lot of room. I need an idea of quantity required. To save room, please contact
me directly at: drinkware@xxxx
Permission from the organizers is formally requested, at this time, to supply these.
Please contact me at my e-mail shown.
I may have room for a navigator. Applications are now being accepted!!

>I purchased a set of the stainless steel labels off of ebay about a year ago. If you
can find a set, I think they are a nice addition to the car. . .but be warned, they were
made in the mid 80's, so the adheasive doesn't play well and you will probably have
to use a heat gun to get the paper backing off. I will try to post a few pics of the
labels on my car in a few days . . .
