DeLoreans on Display (AKA Museum DeLoreans)

[Dangermouse]

Here is the latest revised list of cars that you might want to visit during this "off season" for many owners

As always, I'd appreciate any help in filling in the blanks. Any photos from visits would be welcome also

For the longest time there was a DeLorean in the Cobb Galleria. There was a small-ish shop on the right as soon as you walked in that had a bunch of movie replica cars. The DeLorean was in the window.

I have no idea if it's still there though, but it'd be worth checking out.

Just found this:

Seems there is a DeLorean on display at the Samsung Transportation Museum in Seoul (Korea). According to the French DeLorean Clubsite it should be VIN#01985 ...

Don't know if it's in the list of museum DeLorean?

This one isn't on this list, and since it's closed down there really isn't any reason to bother with adding it.

Central Texas Museum of Automotive History. (http://www.kvue.com/news/local/Historic-cars-up-for-auction-in-Central-Texas-140045823.html)

Very sad that the collection was dissolved. The owner has created a new museum called Dick's Classic Garage. According to the woman who was working the register, about 20 more cars retained from the original collection are scheduled to be moved over. Don't know which they were so I've no idea if the DeLorean they had made it over or not since she said that not all of the vehicles were on display. However if I had to put money on it I'd say that it was sold off.

As for the new place, it does have some very interesting cars on display. Particularly the Queen of Diamonds Duesenburg (I fell in love with the paint color and will one day use it on a car), and perhaps the best Tucker display I've ever seen that included not only a car, but an advertising banner, owner's manual, other paperwork, and finally a spare engine on a stand for people to view. Absolutely spectacular.

Unfortunately while the museum builds up an impressive amount of past cars, it dead-ends in the 1950's. It was disappointing because not only did I want to see more, but then that was how the entire gift-shop was setup/themed.

Thanks Andy,

I read the SW forum but I wasn't sure if they were saying that it was VIN1985 or just a "late-VIN". Too co-incidental that a BTTF car would be VIN 1985. Pity he didn't get a picture of the vin-plate.

No, it wasn't on the list, but it is now.

Here is the latest revision to the DeLoreans on Display, just in time for planning your annual vacations & spring break.

Thanks for the updates throughout the year.

As always, any updates are very welcome, particularly confirmation that a car is still being displayed where it is listed, or that it has been removed.

I have indicated with a “sun” symbol where I have seen a photo of a particular car in a museum/location, so any new photos would be welcome for those that are missing. It’s the best confirmation that a car is actually there.

For completeness, I have added a new section titled “Private Collections”

[OverlandMan]

The Cavanaugh Flight Museum (TX) is right by my office. I've been over there once several years ago and didn't see a DeLorean there at that time. I'll try and make a trip over there sometime in the next month or so and see if I can't help you fill in the blanks on that particular car.

I was just looking at the website for Sinsheim Museum. Under their "exhibition" section, there are two sublists; Exhibition Areas and Famous Exhibits. Exhibition includes vintage cars, sports cars, American dream cars, etc., but the DeLorean is listed under Famous Exhibits along with the Concorde! There are $30M Bugattis and Ferraris in the regular Exhibition section, but the DeLorean DMC-12 gets it's own heading under Famous Exhibits - pretty cool!
I would LOVE to visit this museum.

Is your info correct? I always thought that D24 (RIA 7123) and VIN#00514 (the museum one) were 2 different cars?

Even PJ Grady's site says that the 2 cars were 'very similar', thus assuming meaning 'not the same car' ...

yeah I think they are the same car. DMC records show car 514 as doing its first 50.000 miles test in N Ireland but if your look at exterior and interior of RIA 7123 they match exactly the car at the Belfast museum(missing glove box lid, dashboard mounted light, CB aerials, no vin plate on drivers side door, two front grill spotlights etc) im confused now lol... I guess a pilot car and vin assigned car are two different things now...but do you see my point?

2290022901

[Dangermouse]

There were at least two 50000 miles test cars. One was 514 and is now on display at Cultra. The other was D24 reg RIA7123, shown in many photos, but was destroyed by a fire apparently.

At least this is the accepted opinion on this from the guys at DOC who have researched this.

Of course I have never seen a pic of both cars together or of a reg plate of the second one. I assume the Cultra one doesn't have a plate.

Nick Sutton thought there might have been a third one also.

I think that G. Barris BTTF is in Gatlinburg TN at the Star Cars Museum. I saw it in August of 2012 during a family vacation. You may want to call them to verify..
I didnt know to get the VIN way back then or I would have. Maybe someone there can get the VIN for you to see if it matches any that you have.

I wanted to get a pic of me in the car, but they wouldn't let me even after I begged and offered 20 bucks to the employee. The feet and legs you see in one of the pics is a DocBrown maniquin.

Went to visit VIN1990 today. Bit grim.

Fascias have been repainted in a lighter silver shade - presumably to match the stainless and looks pretty bad from a lot of angles. Lots of filler/bondo visible on them too. Weather stripping around doors gone, drivers door either not latched or in bad shape! Interior is... very red, more fitting for a Countach than a D. Headliners have been trimmed in leather though and in my opinion are nicer than production. Wheels have been painted black with silver bits which is quite nice, oddball quad exhaust put on, louvre is in bad shape with the vents at back gone and various chips, and a kink/dent in the stainless panel at the top of the louver on the LH side. Various bits of trim inside coming away but that's probably due to busy fingers. Bumpers are quite faded too.

Overall it's a bit of a state, wouldn't take much to make it pristine though! Looks great sitting next to an Esprit, too.

That interior is HIDEOUS.

Anyone who has ever studied color theory will ALSO tell you that's a terrible idea. Red is a very stressful and "angry" color, which is why competent office designers know to never use red for walls or cubicles or any other large, enclosed areas. That is the exact opposite of what you would want inside of an automobile.

Some additional details for the cars at Universal Studios, CA

VIN 5261 is correctly listed as the A car and currently resides at the NBSUnversal Experience museum located on the lower lot of the Universal Studios theme park.

VIN 10724 (Grey/Manual) is a non screen used replica car built by Jay Ohrberg and is also owned by Universal Studios. Some of the time machine parts originally used to build it were screen used parts scavenged from the B car train wreckage. It is currently on display as part of the back lot studio tram tour next to several futuristic screen used BTTF vehicles and other universal screen used vehicles. This is where 5261 used to reside prior to the 2012 restoration. Throughout the 90's and 2000s 10724 and 5261 were used interchangeably as display cars in front of BTTF The Ride. After the ride closure 10724 was parked on the back lot near the tram garage while 5261 was more prominantly displayed in the screen used cars section of the tram tour route.

Here are a few photos of 10724

Agreed. Now I think about it, the museum's who deal is custom vehicles - there's a Bricklin in acid yellow on Dubs, a Ferrari 400i converted into a El Camino sort of deal, so I think that red leathering was done in-house as part of an extreme makeover sort of deal. On reflection the car might have been lucky to escape as is.

I got an interesting email back from the owner of the Bewley City Garage Car Museum in Greeneville TN

The sister of John Delorean's first wife lives in Greeneville. She has given us the two leather chairs from his home office, one of his golf trophies, and several newspaper articles and photos of his first marriage. The chairs were custom designed for his 6'4" frame with leather he obtained from Packard when he left the company.


Also the Delorean mileage is only 726.


His first wife was Elizabeth Higgins, per wiki, and I think he worked at Packard from 1953-1956.

The above car is 17119, appropriately enough, a Canadian car

The car in the Toyota Museum in Tokyo is 17147, also a Canadian version with the metric instrument cluster. Some follow-up questions here (http://dmctalk.org/showthread.php?10868-Metric-dash-%96-Canadian-models&p=159768#post159768). It was donated by a Japanese stainless steel supplier

The car in the Zeithaus Museum in Wolfsburg, Germany is owned by VW is a 1982 car – 10345 – see below with the 1982 tag. However, I was able to point out to them that the tag on the rear fascia was actually 1981. It's in their "history of manufacturing techniques" section, if you are passing through.

The car in Tallahassee FL, is 20015, one of the last cars made and the only 20xxx car on display anywhere in the world, that I know of.

[Citizen]

I just wanted to let the community know that Demot (Dangermouse) has agreed to have the Texas DeLorean Club’s maintenance of the DeLorean Registry include his list of museum cars. Dermot has been collecting museum car information for some time, tracking around 70 cars that are, or have been, in museums around the world.

And as you probably already know, I have been gathering information about all DeLoreans for several years now, including latest location, conversions, paint, engine modifications, and anything else that may make them individually unique. This “Registry” information is adjunct to the Chronology that Shannon keeps, and is separate from the DeLorean Owners Directory (DOD), which is maintained by the owners themselves.

So I wanted to offer a big thank you to Dermot first for collecting this information, which he will still do, and second for allowing it to be included in the Registry. It is people like him, who exemplify the spirit of shared information, that make the DeLorean community one that I am proud to be a part of.

Thanks Dermot!

I read that LINQ website as meaning that they have a mix of cars-for-sale, and display-only-cars on their "showroom/display area". These type of cars are tricky for me in term of this DoDisplay list. Sure, they are "on display" in such a way that an interested party could visit the property and look at the car, but the same could be said for any used car showroom that has a D in stock. I have included a couple of these types of cars on the list as "consignment" type cars (whether they are actually consignment of not) to indicate that they are also for sale. They are usually priced high, so are less likely to move on, possibly. For the sake of the "DeLoreans on Display" list, I will continue to show these types of cars when they are at a location that also is marketed as a museum or visitor attraction.

I have a related problem with a BTTF car in teh UK taht was at a bonba-fida museum, but is now on show at a used Ferrari dealership in London. It's not currently for sale, and is presumably being used to attract customers in BTTF-year, but whether your average BTTF fan passing in the street is likely to buy a used Ferrari is another question. It is unknown whether the car will return to the museum or eventually be sold, so it remains on the list, on display in a different location, until it resolves itself one way or another.

Here's some photos of it (along with a friend of mine) that I snapped from outside a few weeks ago. I saw it on Flickr, and my girlfriend, being as awesome as she is, CSI'd the name of a shop visible out the window and then we got into the car to track it down :)

In a London museum?

No, it's displayed at this museum : http://www.lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk/index.php ...

[DMCVegas]

This car is listed in their For Sale section. Their "Cars On Display" section does not show it.

Noting the asking price is $55K.


I read that LINQ website as meaning that they have a mix of cars-for-sale, and display-only-cars on their "showroom/display area".

Both The Auto Collections @ Linq as well as Don Laughlin's Classic Car Collection @ The Riverside in Laughlin, NV (Haven't been there in 5 years, so I don't know if they still have a DMC-12 on display, but it was confirmed as of last June as still being there (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/don-laughlins-riverside-resort-hotel-and-casino-laughlin-2?select=R8uXACqQbwqL9sgPuEosQA) in the downstairs area) do actually possess dealer licenses to sell consignment cars. Though pretty much almost every single car "museum" out there does the same.

Now the thing about Linq's museum is that the do also have an exchange program with the National Automobile Museum in Reno, NV. In the late 80's-early 90's the gold AmEx car was on loan to the collection when it was under IP's ownership. Granted, yes. They will occasionally purge vehicles at auction, as I found out when I arrived literally 1 day too late to purchase a Yugo Cabrillo. But I don't think it'll be going anywhere soon, like the car in Laughlin (which when I can afford it after we get a house, I intend on buying that particular car) that has been sitting down there for at least 2 decades, and has indeed been for sale all this time.

[Domi]

No, it's displayed at this museum : http://www.lakelandmotormuseum.co.uk/index.php ...

Many thanks :)

It's all in the list pdf too.

You're right, didn't think to check the listing before.

Need a spot of help:

Anyone recognize this location:

It may be vin 1731, or 2331 +/-1 depending on how literal the #1731 of 8300 built" comment is. The set looks too permenant for a car show

And what about this one:

On that first photo, I don't know if you have an original copy or not that might contain the EXIF with GPS coordinates. Apparently Apple removed the ability to pull that data on Preview with Yosemite (and it scrubs when exporting pictures too as a safety precaution), so I'll try this on another computer running Lion when I get a chance.

[Dangermouse]

The exif data has been scrubbed from these files.

[Dangermouse]

Have you updated this for 2015?

Here is the 2015 revision of the list (I think James is using it to drum up business :) ). It's now up to 92 cars in 21 US states and 20 countries, which is quite surprising



A few additions and deletions as well as filling in some of the ? on the previous revision.

I decided to add Proto 1 to the list as it is specifically on display at DMCF. While you can obviously see DeLoreans at any of the DMC franchises, this is a special one.

Also new to the US is one at the National Nuclear Museum of Science and History. Not quite sure what the link is there.:dunno: :P



The biggest area of grown on the list is South America which has gone from 1 to 4 cars, mostly BTTF replicas not surprisingly, in Chile, Venezuela and Mexico (which isn’t technical in SA but I’m not starting a Central America section for just one car)

Again, thanks for the information and support.

Last time I checked, Mexico was in North America :)

[Dangermouse]

Last time I checked, Mexico was in North America :)

Yes and no. On a purely continental basis it is (where there is only N and S America), but if you consider the area known as "Central America" as I was inferring, it is sometimes included in there.

But now that it is a major force in the DoDisplay list, I will work something out for the next revision :). Let's not go down this particular OT rabbit hole

[Jonathan]

Nice work, Dangermouse.

I'll agree with both of you on Mexico/NAM. The Central/North America context as well as the leave well enough alone OT perspective.

Something I learned not long ago regarding the Canadian edition cars I thought to mention. There were 88 cars (silly number) pulled off the assembly line to become the 17,XXX VINs destined for the Canadian market. I know we've talked about the instrument cluster changes for the word BRAKE instead of the symbol, etc., but one thing I never clued into was that all 88 cars are gray interior manual trans cars. A local owner mentioned that to me and I just never realized any different. So if you come across a Canadian spec car with a 17,XXX VIN, you know it has to be a gray / manual.

Hi Dermot,

Thanks for the update. I have been forgetting to add this one to the list for a few years (and at least two trips) to the collection/museum.

DeLorean DMC-12 in the Lingenfelter Collection (Museum) in Michigan http://www.thelingenfeltercollection.com/2010/09/gallery/1970s-1990s-exotics/

I took photos (including a VIN tag) years ago, but maybe someone has easier access to their old photos from one of the Woodward events.

The Lingenfelter Collection 7819 Lochlin Drive Brighton, MI 48116 (special viewings only, usually in groups, not open to public regularly).

Thanks,
Rich W.

[Dangermouse]

Thanks Rich.

I think you must have mentioned that to me before, as it is included in a short list of Private Collections on the last page of the list, along with a couple of others. I keep these separate as an individual person cant usually just phone up and go see it, but a car group can usually wrangle a visit (like SEDOC did to Cathy Truett/Chick-fil-a a few years ago)

The Lingenfelter one is an 82 with 55xx miles on it apparently.

If you find the VIN, that would be nice.

DeLorean Oct.1981 Vin#: 04509 @ San Diego Auto Museum

I took my son today to the museum and it was a real treat to check out some amazing Indian and Harley bikes. Near the middle of the museum in front of a really nice Dino parks 04509. Currently the museum is having their "The War Years" and it's an A+ if you're also into military motorcycles, trucks n jeeps! If you are in town it's definitely a stop to take!

Don Laughlin's Riverside Hotel in Laughlin, Nevada has had one in their car museum for the last several years.

[Andy]

I don't know if this has been mentioned somewhere, but the DeLorean in the Louwman Museum (in the Netherlands) in VIN#15852 (august 1982). The curator was kind enough to let me take a picture of the VIN-tag ....

so it's back on display. Great.

Auto transmission?

[Andy]

The museum changed to another location a few years back, but it never the collection ... (in 2007 I saw it at the old location). The curator said that all the cars in the museum are drivable and kept in a good state ; this door didn't stay open by itself, probably "just the gasstruts" ...

It's a manual, by the way ...

We went to the Lingenfelter fall open house yesterday. I snapped the attached photos including VIN 3712837129371303713137132of the Delorean they had on display. The Delorean was not the car attracting much attention in that amazing collection of powerful cars as its in a corner of the display way, way in the back. A very unique opportunity to get really close to performance cars...many in the multi-million $ range.

[Dangermouse]

Thanks.

You didn't happen to note whether it was stick or auto, did you?

[iflights]

Thanks.

You didn't happen to note whether it was stick or auto, did you?
It was a stick.

[RamblinDMC]

Just an interesting note.
My car, 2203 used to be a display car. It had been in the Cofer Brothers collection in Tucker, GA since 1996.

[Dangermouse]

I was wondering about that. Was it a public display?

[RamblinDMC]

It was sorta public. The collection wasn't really open to the public but they welcomed car clubs to schedule showings.

[Dangermouse]

I've just been made aware of one on display in Grand Junction CO.

It's at Allen Unique Auto Museum (http://allenuniqueautos.com/museum/), but if you want to go see, make it soon (like over the Thanksgiving holidays) as supposedly the museum is closing in December and the cars are being sold off.

It is 06940, a grey manual (for Shannon - not on the VIN list yet) with less than 900 miles

38083

Fancy seeing a festive red trimmed DeLorean over the holidays?

http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=38651&d=1450451496


Well, the one that had been at the London Motor Museum (01990), is now in Miami. Turns out that the owner of the LMM, a former model and designer simply named Elo, has just opened a new venture in Miami called Miami Super Car Rooms. (http://www.miamisupercarrooms.com/) and one of the associated pictures shows the red trimmed beauty is in fact there. It seems like it is some kind of eating establishment also, where you can get food/beverages in the company of supercars. And a DeLorean

[Peripatetic]

The first DeLorean I ever saw was the one at the Volo Museum. I've seen it two or three times but this was before I discovered that the DeLorean community is apparently very proud of their VIN so I didn't catch it.

They were raffling off this car this year. If the Cubs won some lucky patron would have won the car. Since they lost the prize was the hover board. I believe someone in Australia won.

It's an interesting concept, but yeah, I don't think I could get those questions either. Especially when they seem to be trick questions like that that have no definitive answers.

On a side note, once I get a garage, I'll hang a sign that says, Restauran de Bon Foodeux above the garage door, and I'll gladly let six of you at a time eat in my garage for $3,000. Complementary Boone's Farm & Pabst Blue Ribbon. Choose what you want from my artisinal menu:

Entrees

La Nouille du Triomphe
A meal of pure bliss and flavor - a delicious plate of ramen noodles boiled in the purest of water. Noodles can be flavored with either chicken or beef seasoning.

Le Repas du Fromage Délicieux
A mouthwatering bowl of easy mac cooked to perfection in a microwave. Served with a side of peanut M&Ms.

Le Repas de la Faim de Grande Personne
A delectably and savory microwaved TV dinner. The dish comes with two pieces of fried chicken, mashed potatoes, freshly grown vegetables and a satisfying brownie that is heated to absolute perfection.

Le Sandwich Rouge
A truly phenominal sandwich consisting of ketchup spread over a carefully microwaved piece of bread, and then topped with another piece of bread. Comes with a side of mayonnaise for dipping.

Dessert

Le Plat du Lait et de la Céréale
A satisfying end to your meal, this dessert consists of a bowl of fruit loops served with either skim or 2% milk. Milk can be substituted with water for those on a diet.

La Pâtisserie Bourrée
Individually wrapped twinkies that have been microwaved to sheer delight.

I searched the thread but didn't see this one.

The Automobile Gallery in Green Bay, WI.
http://www.theautomobilegallery.org/

Really awesome place, actually. All the cars in the facility are driveable but they're presented basically as art pieces.
The DMC is VIN 2285 (Automatic, black interior) and you're encouraged to sit in the car and take pictures. The owner of the facility and the car just wanders around and greets people, he goes by "Red" and was a really cool guy. He didn't mind that I popped open the engine bay and poked around to see what has and hasn't been done.

4514945150

It's the only DMC I've ever sat in, which I'm grateful for as you can see I barely fit. (There are other pics of me with the door closed if there are any doubters) The pedal box was pretty tight with motorcycle riding boots, though.

[Dangermouse]

Thanks for the update. Added to the list.

I just visited this museum today and snapped some pictures. I had no idea this was there. One of the museum workers said it was donated by somebody up in Los Alamos. Well, I am one of three owners in Los Alamos, and I know for sure this isn't the '83 belonging to my buddy Paul (his plate is PLUTNUM). Guy #3 in Los Alamos did have an 81 but I don't remember if he had a gas flap or not. The one at the museum is a grooved hood, no flap. Nor is it my flat hood '82.

Vin 05002 puts it at October 1981 -two months before mine was built.

Thank you. Contrary to what you might think, I *don't* use it as a marketing tool - few Museums have the excess funds to maintain the cars in their collections - but I'm working with Barrie Wills to see if any of them may have an interest in carrying his book in any "gift shops" they may have in their Museum.
