RE: [DML] DeLorean on Monster Garage - Was: Delorean mention on J eopardy!

["Montgomery, Ken" <kenm@xxxx>]

An article by Solange DeSantis appeared in the August 1985 issue of Popular
Mechanics. Here's some highlights from that article: Artist Ron Cobb did the
first blueprints for the time machine and Andy Probert refined the designs
(Mr. Proberts' designs can be seen in the extras section of the BTTF DVD
set). They purchased 3 DeLoreans from the classified ads at a total cost of
about $50,000. The 3 cars were transformed at Kevin Pike's Filmtrix Inc.
shop in N. Hollywood. The final total cost of the cars and the conversions
was about $150,000. 2 cars were kept together and the 3rd was gutted to act
as a stationary platform.

So was George Barris involved in the construction of the other cars used to
film the 2 subsequent BTTF movies? Without first-hand knowledge, who can
say?

I have made a Quicktime clip (about 700K) from the Monster Garage program
and placed it in the 'files' section of this mailing list:
