If I remember correctly, I believe that it belonged to one of my father's coworkers. It's not that exciting of a story.  . Honestly, I'm still puzzled as to why they bought a DeLorean. For quite a few years they had been throwing around the idea of getting a weekend toy, but it was usually the idea of getting a Corvette. They came very close one time to buying a C3, but they never did. The DeLorean thing came out of the blue to me, and to my siblings. None of us had any idea they wanted the time machine. I don't know if they had been thinking of getting a DeLorean, or if it just happened to be an opportunity they couldn't pass up. When I asked the very same question as you(My question was "Why a Delorean?") I was merely told that they had always liked the DeLorean, and they kind of left it at that. I guess it was the right timing, right price, right mileage (only 16k miles), and was in nearly mint condition. But I'd like to think that I had a little something to do with the decision.  Ever since I was 4 or 5 years old, I wanted a Corvette, it had always been a dream of mine. The dream finally came true 3 years ago, at the beginning of 2005, and coincidently the DeLorean was purchased a year and a half later in mid 2006.   Perhaps it was just a coincidence, or maybe they figured if if I could buy the car I was passionate about, then they could too. But if you can get a fully detailed answer out of them, please let me know. |
