Re: [DML] DMC/Bricklin

The Urba Centurion is a DIY car that's been around at least as long as 
the DeLorean.  While its wedge-like styling is vaguely similar to the 
DeLorean, the Centurion was intended for super high efficiency 
transportation, not speed or luxury.  Cleveland's Crawford Auto/Aviation 
museum, which many of us visited for Ken's show in 2000, has one on display:

I've seen the Crawford's Urba Centurion up close many times.  It's a 
cute little thing.

While a diesel powered Centurion can supposedly achieve 128 miles per 
gallon, the Centurion's big claim to fame is a brief appearance in the 
movie Total Recall.  I occasionally notice that the plans are still 
available on the internet.  I have no idea where potential builders 
acquire the plastic body panels.
