Theoretically, it should have a hood with lines and no flap. The hoods officially changed to all flat hoods 19 cars after yours, but it would be interesting to know a couple of things: - the hoods on the cars 7182-7199, what are they? - any indications of previous accident damage? It's possible that the hood was damaged at the factory and then swapped out with one of the new ones before it was shipped, or it could have been done at the QAC, too. Another DeLorean mystery.
