[MODERATOR'S NOTE: According to the production chronology information (downloadable at DMCNews.com), the October VINs span approximately 4214-5997. This puts VIN 4512 in the October builds near the beginning of the month. The August VINs span approximately 2533-3508.] If VIN 4597 is an August build, would that mean that 4512 (which is an Oct. build) was pulled off the assembly line and then finished in October? Erik 4512 Oct. or Aug? > possible explanation (partially backed up by a De Lorean Motor Company > internal memo discovered at the factory in 1997) is that some cars for one > reason or another were pulled from the assembly line (the memo discusses > cars with emission problems, in particular) and once the problem was > corrected they were returned to production, hence the build month being "out > of whack" with the rest of the VIN's brethren.
