The Visioneering Car

I just grow weary of DeLorean owners stating with firm certainty that the front end was raised because the original design violated bumper height standards, yet all evidence proves otherwise.

The sword cuts both ways: if DeLorean owners do not want anyone to state with firm certainty that JZD went to prison, or that these cars were built with drug money, then DeLorean owners must not behave similarly themselves Re: bumper or headlight heights.

Here's the rest of the luggage compartment as it was in 1998 when I photographed the car at Barrett-Jackson...

Thanks for the photo, Bill. I was just curious to see if they had carpeted the entire area as on the prototype, or had the insert covering the donut spare tire. Looks like the latter.

Are there any photos of the inside of the Visioneering car's luggage area?

Thanks, James! That's most helpful. :-)

Here's a picture of the Visioneering Delorean from the Facebook page. It's a very interesting read. The rims aren't the production rims, but make do's with hubcaps to look like the production wheels.

Here's a google maps street view shot of where this pic was taken. Front of the building hasn't changed much!

I've got a couple questions about the Visioneering car (and I suppose by extension some of the pilot cars as well)....

First, did those composite doors have fixed pull straps on them? They're there in most pictures I've seen of it, but they're coming from a different spot than where the production fixed pulls were placed, and I don't think I can see them wrapped around the usual door pulls on the bottom of the armrests....

Secondly, were the pre-production sliding windows supposed to be electric had the car gone into production with that design? I've long assumed that they were supposed to just be had operated, but now that I've thought about that, it seems very un-DeLorean like...

Thanks!
