Re: [DML] DMC Prototype

The rear louver (sunshade) was added to the pre-production mock-ups and was not in any of the early prototype's.

The prototype was spotted sitting in a driveway rotting away a few years ago. 
If you search the archives you will find the post. The person desribes it 
as a car with no louver and the sliding windows which never went into a 
production car so it must be one of the prototypes. keep in mind that there 
were almost 20 prototype vehicles.

Does anyone know where the "first" De Lorean is now. My friend bought 
Bricklin vin#001 in 1981 from a museum in Chicago (Skokie). The first 
DeLorean and also the first 300 sl gullwing were there also. the owner of 
the DeLorean offered to sell the car for $60,000 in 1981 but he was not 
interested in the DMC. (he just bought one last year) Does anyone know 
anything more about this DMC, is it still there?
He now has Bricklin #001 up for sale for a rediculously CHEAP price. It 
has basically never been touched its whole life, museum and then to a lift 
where it sat in a carcoon. I went to see the cars(he also owns the last 
Brick) and they are prefect. The reserve for 001 is well under $20,000 which 
I think is a bargain for such a rare car. it has no mods and even the 
original hydraulic doors. just curious about the first DMC. sorry if I got 
a little off of the DMC topic.

later
