HVAC panel-Ouline vs. Solid Lettering -VIN cut-offs?

[Iznodmad]

I'd like to hear from some 82 or 83 owners to hear what they have. 5180 is the latest owner here and that's about the 1/2 way point in the vins.

#16128 has type 3
#5000 has type 2

I went through some old photos from the last year or two...

The Raffle Car from DCS 2010 has the "Type 2" face. I believe it was in the high 6,000 VIN range.

VIN 16610 also has Type 2.

Type 2 and 3 seem to be common from the photos I have.....

Spencer Michael Bondham from Minnesta/Wisconsin area. I used to keep in touch on facebook for a while, but he just isn't into the Ds as much as us on here; more of an "inactive" Delorean owner...

yeah, thats what i thought... i seem to recall a story that he decided to buy a ticket for the hell of it and ended up the winner.

Here is my contribution to the A/C Heater face plate questions. Pictured is what is in my VIN 02261 and according to Dangermouse I have the type 2.
Some one please remake this style and I’ll definitely buy one as mine is pretty beat up.

If I stop by DMC Northwest I’ll take pictures of the later VIN A/C face plates. They have at least ten DeLoreans at any one time.

I can't stand this Face Plate. I had two and sold both of them. It would be nice if Houston were to reproduce all 4 labels.

This was from the same thread in the old .com site.

I'm a little late getting to this conversation, but just saw the link to it recently.

I believe I have a #5 on Dermot's menu, but the link to the picture doesn't come up, so I'm not sure.

Out of curiosity, can anyone comment on whether there was a Canadian version or not? I know the instrument cluster was changed for the 17000 VIN cars that went to Canada, but wasn't sure if they made changes to the HVAC panel. What often happens is that any symbols or messages that are written in english, get changed to symbols with no words, so not to offend anyone in the French part of the country. There might be more to it than that, but say the check engine light/warning in Canada doesn't say anything, it is just the symbol with no words. I wondered if anything on the HVAC panel got changed to symbols and not words, like the words fan fail or something?
