Actually the Delorean does not have "true" Gullwing doors,yes it does have Gullwing doors,BUT true Gullwing doors were installed/used because of the frame belt line running high across the sides of the car making normal doors inpractical,Both the Mercedes Gullwing and the Bricklin SV-1 had/have a "true" need for Gullwing doors,thus they are truly Gullwing cars,Deloreans have no high beltline frame running alongside the car,needing gullwing doors,they are there as a selling feature and as a sensable alternative to regular doors,But NOT really needed. --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "Bob Cutrupi" <Delorean3@...> wrote: > > Will these kits work on the Delorean? > > (kidding) > > --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Faded N Jaded <fadednjaded@> wrote: > > > > These so-called gull-wing doors that these manufacturers are > calling gull-wing are not gull-wing doors at all in the way that the > DeLorean or the Mercedes gull-wing doors from the 1950s did were.
