Hi everyone,

Just scrolling through the internet on my lunchbreak and dug up some info regarding my D.

Subject: Celebrity DeLorean owners...

Someone this past weekend asked me whether or not Patrick Swayze
owned a DeLorean, and the best that we've been able to determine is
that, yes, he still owns one.

Which got me to thinking about other "celebrity" DeLorean owners...I
had heard that David Prowse owned or owns a DeLorean. David Prowse
was the actor inside the Darth Vader costume in the Star Wars films
(though James Earl Jones did the voice). Our records *do* show that a
David Prowse at one time owned VIN 01955, but I have yet to verify
that it is the same David Prowse.

Anyone know of any others?

Can anyone verify this for me?

I got overexcited and looked deeper and found out it was not the David Prowse.

Bugga.

At least I now know who the original first owner is! :)

I've heard a rumor that 2930 was owned by the creator of Mork and Mindy, but I have no way to confirm it.

PS: Also, it's not exactly like that person is a huge celebrity. It's still a fun [potential] fact!

Are you going to get vanity plates "shuzbut" or "nanunanu"?

:lol:

Having been a member on here for a little while, seems like a majority of past and current celebrates have been touched by a D at some point. Either ownership or at an event. Probably more so than any other car (dont mention the Prius!).
