joeschmo's 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 Here are some photos of my pride and joy, my 1981 DeLorean. The car that has people saying "what the hell is that?!". Of course, if any of you have seen the Back to the Future movies, you know what a DeLorean is. joeschmo's 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 There are two distinct features about this one-of-a-kind car. 1). The car's entire body consists of unpainted, SS304 stainless steel and 2). The doors do not open like conventional doors but rather they open upward. These are called gullwing doors. There are only two other kinds of cars that have gullwing doors. There is one kind of old Mercedes Benz from the 1950's with them, and another rare car called a Bricklin.

The DeLorean is a very rare automobile, with less than 7,000 existing in the entire world today. Suprisingly, there are plenty of parts for them, because the DeLorean Motor Company was geared up to produce about 30,000 cars a year, but in 1983 John DeLorean got in certain legal issues over a matter of cocaine dealing and his company ceased to exist. The car was designed by the same italian designer who designed the Lotus Espirit. You can note the similarities. joeschmo's 1981 DeLorean DMC-12 As you can see, my car is pretty much flawless, interior and exterior. Yes, there is snow in these photos, but don't worry - I would never even think about it! I keep my car covered at all times, and am soon going to move it to the garage once I clear the space for it. Hope you enjoyed it! joeschmo's 1981 DeLorean DMC-12
