Bacause, believe it or not...the car was SUPPOSED to sell for $12,000 to compete with the going price of the Corvette at the time. As you know this didn't happen and the price not only doubled and on top of that they dropped most of the features that originally was the concept of the car such as the airbags. The original name of the car was "DeLorean Safety Vehicle". This was a direct rip-off of the Bricklin SV-1, or "Safety Vehicle One", which was another gullwinged car that was made completely out of acrylic and had a large bumper in the front. You should really buy a book from http://www.delorean.com called "Stainless Steel Illusion" and it will answer most of thoose questions. - VB >From: Chris Gosser <shadow_ranger2004@xxxxxxxxx> >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: [DML] The 12 In DMC-12 >Date: Thu, 25 Aug 2005 21:33:27 -0700 (PDT) > >hey All > >I Was Wondering What Does The 12 In DMC-12 Mean? > >Could You Ask Around For Me? > >Chris > >__________________________________________________ >Do You Yahoo!? >Tired of spam?
