Talk:DMC DeLorean/Archive 2

The DMC was based on Skoda Ferat
The prototype of DMC DeLorean first appeared in 1976, which is five years after Skoda Ferat appeared in Czechoslovakia and in a Czech movie. It is impossible to deny the similarity in design. Topjur01 (talk) 04:01, 20 November 2020 (UTC)


 * The angular design of the Ferat was based on other concept cars of the 60s. None of these cars has a monopoly on it. Here and here are several examples for you. So make an edit suggestion with a reliable source or stop using the talk age as a forum. MartinezMD (talk) 04:33, 20 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I took a quick look around the internet and found nothing in English-language reliable published sources talking about the connection. Do you have a published source we can use? Binksternet (talk) 04:36, 20 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure I understand the point of this discussion. Angular designs were quite common during this era.  Are you implying the DeLorean was a copy of the Ferat?  There are significant similarities between the Lotus Esprit and the DeLorean and there is data publsihed on this topic but I'm not sure if it's terribly relevant.

3rd Golden Car -- contradictory information???
Did American Express or Consolidated International acquire the parts for the last golden car? If Amex got the parts from Delorean, how did Consolidated end up with them? The paragraph seems to contradict itself on this.

This has been clarified in the article. Expandinglight5 (talk) 14:11, 23 February 2021 (UTC)
