That's hardcore. They've spent a lot of time guessing... the original is sitting at Universal Studios. They could just go see it. If the place is dead and there's no line, the actor was really cool about us taking a really close look and shooting the crap about it. |

And Chad, I believe they mention at one point that the one at Universal is not 100% accurate. Anyways, do you really think they would let you sit in the real deal? EDIT: here was the comment: --- Quote ---Gary said... My Third Aluminum fabrication job on the Delorean were these things. They are accurate to the movie cars and did you know that the real TCD (Time Circuts Display) IS NOT a square box. It is actually a little funky shaped bugger that fits over part of the mid-console, NOT on top of it as most replica Deloreans (including some of the ones at Universal Studios) are set up with. It fits OVER (both) the Radio and (air) Vents -NOT- above on the dash... Sure, I just blocked two of the four AC vents in the car, but hey we all must suffer a little pain for the sake of art... --- End quote --- |

The guy wasn't letting people sit in it normally, but the place was dead empty, it was like 8:30am and we were the only people within 50 yards. So he let me and my son sit in and we chatted for a few. I have at least one pic of my son sitting in it in our vacation photos, I think. I love going to these places in the lowest offseason. That doesn't mean dude quoted is wrong, but hey, there was a plaque. :laugh2: |

Delorean bodies are stainless steel. |
