So today I had a guy come to the house to measure my kitchen out for a new counter top. As he was taking measurements he turned to me and asked "Is that a Delorean under that car cover?" when I told him yes I asked him how he could tell and he said that that's the only car with a toll booth window (the imprint of the window was showing through the cover) and he's seen his friends a hundred times. He then proceeds to tell me that his friend was crazy because he bought it from the American Express catalog back in the 80's. I stopped dead in my tracks and asked him "was is it gold?" and he said "Yeah...it was gold plated and it had a tan interior in it...he paid like $80,000 for it!" According to him his friend bought the car, had it delivered to him and had never driven it....has 0 miles on it. The guy used to lived in Wantagh Long Island, NY and had long since moved to CA. I was bummed because I wanted to go see it. Any way...that's my close encounter to seeing a Gold Delorean in person....almost :(. Steve
