The seats were never two-tone from the factory. however it is possible to 
redye them, and who knows what the dealers were doing when they couldn't even 
give away DeLoreans towards the end....

and no, chrome wheels were not an option. mine were chromed by a previous 
owner though. looks very nice if done correctly! the 83's are just like all 
the others with the exception of the power antenna added in late 1981/early 
1982 and then the plain hood w/o grooves or fuel flap, which was introduced 
in 1982 also. the 82 and 83 model year cars are identical, unless someone 
can prove me wrong! there are some minor technical changes between 81 and 82 
though, however most changes occured whenever it was convenient and not at a 
model year change.

the only options were manual or auto tranny, and then the ski rack, sheepskin 
seat covers, and plush floor mats. the car is pretty loaded before that 
anyway!
