Here's what the NY Times is reporting, not me, about the history of that D at the show:
At the Covisint booth, in the main corridor, several people were answering questions about the company and its cloud-based connected vehicle technology. My understanding of all that was, shall we say, nebulous. Many visitors to the booth seemed to be drawn to the “Back to the Future” Delorean – one of the originals from the film – and the foil-wrapped woman standing next to it.
Go to the link and see for yourself. I'm not agreeing that it is or isn't really one of the original BTTF cars, only pointing out what the reporter seems to have been told.
I should think somebody here knows how to spot a replica BTTF movie car and can inform the community one way or the other.
So here's more bait, the other NY Times photo of that car shown in that piece:

I don't follow the BTTF cars much myself and don't care to speculate about it but some of you seem interested.
Anybody?
