[DML] first delorean, #500

[James Espey <james@xxxx>]

The car that the person was trapped in was at an auto show, not a 
museum. #500 was owned by Jeff Abrams, one of the executives from 
Consolidated International. he is mentioned in SSI as owning both 
#500 and the "last delorean produced" (#20195?). I wasunder the 
impression that the last car was the one they put the spare set of 
gold panels on, which was then raffled off. In any case, I believe 
Jeff donated #500 to the Crawford in Cleveland.
