Re: Italdesign D with saddle interior

["erikgeerdink" <erikgeerdink@xxxx>]

On a side note, the car in the back ground looks like the sketch 
drawing of the future 4 door delorean.
On the "prototype" delorean, the wheels are not the early dark color, 
and the fascia has clearly been repainted black, or maybe it came 
that way?? There's not way of knowing anything for sure until 
someone can get the vin number, or some history on it. Everything is 
speculation until then.
