Wished I could have met him, seemed like a very genuine, likable soul. I hope Mr. Collins and Mr. DeLorean are racing cars in the sky

Really, sad. Truly the end of an era. I took a few minutes and thumbed through my "Delorean Stainless Steel Illusion" book by John Lamm and it's amazing what a huge role Bill played in making our beloved Delorean car come to fruition. I also perused the facebook posting and learned that he was incredibly generous towards, and loved by, the Northport, MI community.

That had to have been a memorable transaction, he must have legions to tell you about the car.

When I was doing research I believe I found that my VIN was close to his. Also oddly my car has no history on record until 1995 in MI when it was first registered.
