Hi,
Here's a suggestion - I think we should tryand
make more original DMC info available on www.dmcnews.com
Since these are publications of a company no
longer in business, no copyright would exist I believe.
Occasionally, there are quite a few memorabilia
pieces of the DMC History, being offered on EBAY.
I for instance, have the DeLorean Salesman Fact
Booklet. Yet, I have no problems in copying this for those who don't have it. I
don't (and I believe many with me) don't get any happier by sitting on it/hiding
it from other owners and enthusiasts.
The best way to make these scarce publications
available would be in Adobe Acrobat (*.pdf format)
I will try and do this when Christmas time is
closing in (more time on my hands).
I even got an original press release from DMC when the DeLorean was first shown to the public at the Geneva Motor Show in 1981. One day ago, someone (hopefully from the DML) got the last bid on a rare
DeLorean Transporters Handbook being offered on EBAY.
Now, what I like to know is: 1) Would you care to SHARE your DMC memorabilia literature and make it
available on the DMCNEWS website for anyone to see? If no, why?
2) Would other list members (who don't have this literature) be interested
in getting them FREE at DMCNEWS' webpage?
As far as I'm concerned, the value of the literature is having the original
literature yourself. I don't believe they would be of less value if being
offered in an electronic form. Besides, the literature is only valuable if you
sell it on, but DeLorean owners/enthusiasts don't do that or? We keep the pieces
as part of our cars... at least that's the way I see it.
Ok, looking forward to get many replies to my posting.
