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

George Barris was not involved in making the other 5 Delorean Time 
Machines for movies 2 and 3.

Subsequent to the movies, Universal Studios has had other cars done for 
their Theme parks. The lastest one was built about 5 years ago. It was 
the one that had a 2 foot white stack for MR. Fusion rather than a Krups 
coffee grinder. (unfortunately, that was the one copied for the Sun 
Star model. :-( )

Bob Boyce who was the first president of the Back to the Future Club was 
involved with Universal Studios during this time. (His name can be seen 
on one of the scientist's doors on the ride). According to him to 
different custom car makers worked on the 5 cars for movies 2 and 3 
because of the close production schedule. Numerous other customs movie 
prop shops have worked on other "ride" cars.

None of these cars were made by George Barris either.

It is really a shame that other people are trying to claim the glory of 
the original car makers.
