Great catch. I sat in one of these at a car show in San Diego when I was about 12--would have been '82--when I believe they were still in production. It seemed virtually sound proof - I could hear none of the show noise at all once me and my best friend Sean hunkered down in the seats.
Only other one I've ever seen since is broken down in a mechanic's car lot somewhere on 16th street in Sacramento.
Great cars and quite visionary. Too bad Delorean couldn't keep from snorting coke.

They weren't all that great of cars even, they had stainless steel exteriors but all the hardware was just normal steel so it rusted on the inside and no one really expected it - or so I've been told :P. Even hearing that, I'd love to have one. Great sighting!

It's my dream to restore one and add the time machine components :)
Lapsus (70 months ago | reply)
I used to walk past the slowly-decomposing original (or perhaps one of several used?) in the Universal Pictures parking lot, back in the 90s - I wonder if someone bought it and restored it, or if this is a replica.

I wonder if it has anything to do with this: www.accesshollywood.com/movies/ah6469.shtml
Universal Studios gave away one of their DeLoreans as part of their farewell to the Back to the Future ride.
I recall there was a DeLorean parked in front of the ride that looked like a shoddy mock up of the real picture car used in the movie. I wonder if they gave away that one, or the actual picture car used in the movie.

Damn it McFly!

Although, as it turns out, it may just be a De Lorean.

I bet it was on its way to universal in part of the Back to the Future: The Ride closing countdown event.

It's not _the_ DeLorean. _The_ DeLorean has the licence plate OUTATIME.
bendystrawboy (70 months ago | reply)
there's a company that makes these things... i think most of the people don't actually drive to work in the finished product though...
shadowblasko (70 months ago | reply)
Y'all... It must be nice to live around here. We see Delo's all the time in the Cincinnati area.
There are two on my street. (Granted, I live on a Looong street)

HAHA, I saw that De Lorean every day when I worked at Verdugo Hills Hospital! Right next to the BMW (or Jaguar?) that had the license plate "I[heart]BYPSS." As you might have guessed, it's the license plate of a surgeon. I miss seeing it. :(
Enrico2 (70 months ago | reply)
It has to be a fake!!
THE De Lorean doesn't NEED ROADS....

The Plates Are Awesome... I would have bugged out seeing this in person!
Thanks for the early morning chuckle from your new friends over @ www.askTheAdmin.com

I saw one on the M1 motorway here in the UK. With that stainless steel body, it looked great, despite being 20+ years old.

Kick ass.

The guy that owns this particular DeLorean owns DeLorean Motors (restoration shop) in Garden Grove. There was an article in the LA Times a couple of weeks ago interviewing him. He'd stated that he takes "The DeLorean" to fund raising events all over. Needless to say...he gets a crowd. : )

rad!

completely awesome, i agree, was good production car though de loreon could not stop with the drugs and alcohol and not to mention the smugglers hatch in the back seat of the car.
