Oklahomabound Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 The DeLorean DMC-12 is a sports car that was originally manufactured in Northern Ireland by John DeLorean's DeLorean Motor Company for the American market in 1981–1982. It is most commonly known simply as the DeLorean, as it was the only model ever produced by the company. The DMC-12 featured gull-wing doors with a fiberglass "underbody", to which non-structural brushed stainless steel panels were affixed. A modified version of the car became iconic for its appearance as a time machine in the Back to the Future film franchise. The first prototype appeared in March 1976, and production officially began in 1981 (with the first DMC-12 rolling off the production line on January 21) at the DMC factory in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. During its production, several features of the car were changed, such as the bonnet (hood) style, wheels and interior. Approximately 9,000[1] DMC-12s were made before production stopped in late 1982. Today, about 6,500 DeLorean Motor Cars are believed to still exist.[2] Texas entrepreneur Stephen Wynne started a separate company in 1995 using the "DeLorean Motor Company" name and shortly thereafter acquired the trademark on the stylized "DMC" logo as well as the remaining parts inventory of the original DeLorean Motor Company. The company, at its suburban Houston, Texas location completes newly assembled cars from new original stock (NOS) parts, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and reproduction parts on a "made to order" basis.[3] The primary facility opened in 2008 in Humble, Texas. Additional facilities are currently located in Bonita Springs, Florida, Crystal Lake, Illinois, Bellevue, Washington, Garden Grove, California and Hem, The Netherlands.[4] The current DeLorean Motor Company is not associated with the original company but supports owners of DeLorean cars.

Oklahomabound Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 What about the Hugo. Do they sell parts for that too? IN THE 1980s, western car buyers knew Yugoslavia best as the exporter of the Yugo, a much derided communist-era clunker that shed its parts on roads across the United States and Europe. Jokes ridiculed the two-door hatchback, dubbed "the worst car of the millennium". Zastava, which makes the Yugo, fared even worse than its product. During the Yugoslav war, western sanctions and heavy bombing brought the factory to a virtual standstill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oklahomabound Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 or a Pacer, now there is a classic car The AMC Pacer is a two-door compact automobile produced in the United States by the American Motors Corporation between 1975 and 1980. Its initial design idea was started in 1971. The car's unusual rounded shape with massive glass area greatly contrasted with the three-box architecture with "square, boxy designs" incorporating upright grilles and slab-sides of the era.[1] The Pacer was described as "the seventies answer to George Jetson's mode of transportation"[2] at a time when "Detroit was still rolling out boat-sized gas guzzlers."[3] The large amount of glass led Car and Driver to dub it "The Flying Fishbowl".[4] The Pacer's "jellybean" body style is a readily recognized icon of the 1970s.

Willie Wheelgun Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 AMC designed the Pacer with the passenger side door longer than the drivers side to make exciting the back seat easier. My daughter sold cars. The Yugo trade-in joke was "fill the gas tank and double the trade-in value". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first prototype appeared in March 1976, and production officially began in 1981 Dad has been in the auto biz for 55 years. He is still a part time auto broker at 82. He has owned and restored about a dozen classic cars over the decades that won at several car shows. In spring '77 I went with him & Ma to the big annual show at the Coconut Grove [H'wood] where he showed his '37 Buick Cabriolet for 1st pl. DeLorean was there with 2 prototype models parked on the grass. They drew quite a crowd. I met him and sat in "WINGS" Jay Leno was there and he was kind enough to follow Pa to the Buick to meet Ma. Perfect weather that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
