The DeLorean Trip
This post comes from Darryl Tinnerstet, Logistics Coordinator for
LeMay - AMERICA'S CAR MUSEUM
Background: from 1986 through 2004 I operated Specialty Automotive in Olympia, WA, selling new and used DeLorean auto parts worldwide, while also working full time as an engineer. During that time I restored/refurbished 7 DeLoreans and parted out 6 more. Over those 18 years of traveling the country buying up dealer parts inventories and restorable cars I naturally had a few interesting adventures. The following is the second of several true stories from that period.

This is one of those stories you hear and say “yeah, right.” But it’s true and I have the photos to prove it.
