I think the answer is because none of the DeLorean mechanics are close to Orlando. I do know that Universal in Los Angeles rejected an offer by D1 to fix up their cars. I also believe that Don Steger may have restored them a few years ago, but I'm not sure. I've heard that the DeLorean Owners Association offers to clean up some cars from time to time, especially in museums. Suprisingly, these offers are often declined. Everybody knows better, I guess. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Jason Sisto" <wizard@xxxx> wrote: > > I was in Orlando at the BTTF ride in Universal and was extremely dissapointed at the condition of the display car. I understand that is sits outside 24/7 but the front and rear bumpers were cracked, unpainted and patched, the stainless was spotted and not clean, the interior dash had cracks in it, the wheels were unpainted and peeling, etc. It did not seem to be part of the display, but just neglected.

This would probably only need to be done every other year or so. After all, this is a representation of us. Plus based on the boat display, whoever cleans it would probably be allowed to put their WEB address and name on the car.
