As many of you know, the DeLorean wasn't the only car to have gullwing doors. I have seen a lot of e-mails saying it was, but it wasn't. For example, the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL Gullwing also has gullwing doors, as specified in the name. There is a 1956, 1957 and I think more of the years when this car was in production. Who knows, maybe John got his idea from it, but I doubt it. John Feldman
