Do the Gullwing doors hit other cars in parking lots?
A. The doors require less than 14″ to open. A regular door may need two or three feet to open! Q. How many DeLoreans were made, and is it true there was a gold plated DeLorean. A. They didn’t keep the greatest records, but it is generally believed that 8,583 were made for the three years total. There are actually three 14kt gold plated DeLoreans. Two were made in 1981 for the American Express catalog, and one in 1983 with left over gold plated panels (the very last car).
