DeLoreans on Display (AKA Museum DeLoreans)

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.

There is a DeLorean among these other fine cars in a Ferrari dealer's (and apparently a former Oregon DeLorean dealer) private collection. See if you can spot it!

Sweet Jesus, there is a Ferrari 288 GTO in that collection. I think I've seen a different pic of this collection prior. I get excited every time I see a 288 GTO.

Had a chance to stop by the Tampa Bay Automobile Museum this afternoon before heading to the airport. Saw Vin # 10543 there along with some really interesting and unique cars. The folks there were very accommodating, knowledgeable and helpful.

Thanks for sharing your pictures :)

I remember seeing a Delorean in the Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada while visiting a few years back. The website is: http://www.canadianautomotivemuseum.com. I see in the "About" page that it is a 1983.

Thanks.

I think this is it:

Some interesting updates recently

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. It was donated by a Japanese stainless steel supplier

Attachment 31258


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.

Thanks for the update!

To wich car are you referring whit VIN#20015? Or did I miss one in the replies?

The one in the Tallahassee Museum, in FL

VIN..20103 was here in the Chicago area for a number of years, but it was sold in the early 2000's.

I was on YouTube looking up on how to install garage door siding w/ Bob Vila which led me to concrete slab pouring ... and of course some how I ended up lookin' at cars in the middle of his construction video... hrmmmmm (scrub to part of the video, minute; 12:0 8:


Check out the nice stainless steel beauty between the pine pillars and among other fine classic cars;

There are actually (2) Delorean DMC-12 vehicles at this car museum in Tacoma, WA:

http://www.lemaymuseum.org/

But I couldn't get close enough to see the VINs...

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!

The car was sold in the mid-noughties. I never did get the VIN :(

I'm actually in the middle of that at the moment, James.

Hey Dermot, James, Shannon,

I got an email from the curator of the California Automobile Museum in Sacramento, after my inquiry as to what VIN they had on display there. She sought permission to release the VIN only (no name) to me for inclusion in the museum list.

It is VIN 6255. I've already update the online list.

Here is the link to the museum: www.calautomuseum.org

They were on my list to contact so that saves me a few electrons.

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 :)

And here's #758 when we saw it this Feb. Not easy to get close to.

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 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.

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:

http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?at...1&d=1431623203


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:

http://dmctalk.org/attachment.php?at...2&d=1431623217


I have seen hashtags of sandiego and wa, but it doesn't look like other photos from museums there that I have seen.

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.

The exif data has been scrubbed from these files.

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 :)

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
