Re: [DML] Re: The EARLY Deloreans

[Steve Stankiewicz <protodelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

I find it impossible to believe that there were ever
500 produced in the VIN 0001 thru 0500 series.  More
likely it was just the batch of VINs that were set
aside for this purpose.  I'm sure they knew that
they'd never make 500 black cars, but instead as their
assembly processes were refined, black cars were
likely reassigned higher VINs, still within the 0-500
range for documentation purposes.  (Like software
versioning)  

I'd be interested to hear form anyone who actually
knows.
