How many DeLoreans were made and for how long?
No one knows for sure. When DeLorean Motor Company was shut down in 1982, records on vehicle production were lost (or perhaps not even maintained at all!). A number of around 8500-9200 is generally accepted as the total number of DeLoreans produced. DeLoreans were manufacturered for one and a half years (mid 1981 to the end of 1982). During this time, there were three model years made: 1981, 1982, and 1983.
