Re: [DML] How many Deloreans?

According to Lief Montin, the National parts manager for the original
DeLorean Motor Company, the last gold car was plated with panels kept on
hand at the request of American Express in case one of the two cars needed
repair. Same for why the last car also has a tan interior. They were spares,
also.
