[DML] Quality Assurance?



Why was it necessary to set up Quality Assurance Centers in the States?

AFAIK, DeLorean Motor Cars Ltd. had supervisors, foremen and Quality Control Inspectors. I believe they did a fine job, but maybe the increased production rate in Nov. 81 made it necessary to double-check?

Anyone?

It comes down to documentation. What can be documented as original and what
can't be. I have a copy of a DMC memorandum that says these labels were put
on the 83's, primarily to differentiate them from the 82's at a glance.
Unfortunately, you don't mention what your VIN is, but this wouldn't be the
first time that the "documentation" contradicted what was seen, or
contradicted other documents.
