Delorean on "Price Is Right"?

[Lenny]

My neighbor came over and said she saw a Black Delorean on the Price Is Right the other day. Has anyone see the show?

I wonder what the price was? Or if it really was a Delorean.

[Silverbullet]

Really doubting... Black???? and RETAIL price....???

I have heard this story before but it was back in the 80's. Are you sure he was talking about the other day or what seemed like the other day.

After a little googling I found that there was one in December 1981 on TPIR as part of "the viewers showcase", not black though.

Someone should look them up and see if they want to sell the delorean, if they still have it. They may have it in a barn...

Neighbor said it was earlier in the week.

I.E., it was bought through a dealer for a show, not donated. If you scroll down, you can read the memo.

So does the Waiters family still have the car? Because that's a cool story!

No clue. It would be nice if someone with a whole bunch of time could research it further. Their experience of picking it up, how long they had it, the VIN, etc.

Anyway, gotta go to work. :( Have a good one

What does the last part of the hand written note say? - "For now, we could provide ....... car for ??????"


Splitting hairs, but the credits at the end say:

"The following suppliers of prizes have furnished them free or at less than retail

....

DeLorean Motor Company"


could very well be via a dealer.

"For now we could provide a car for taping." DMC was definitely into using their dealer network whenever possible.

Wow! What an awesome video.

Talk about Back to the Future.

You are the man for finding this video! Thanks for all the memories.

At first, I thought y'all were talking about the Bricklin on "Let's Make a Deal." LOL

I was lucky enough to have met the original deal maker himself, Mr. Monty Hall, before he passed.
