Right click and "save as" should get you that pic. That's the best I've got. Note the hockey sticks and arrow head emblem with a flat hood.

Here are two of the blue one. Also note the rectangular mirror, not used until mid '68 on production cars. The steering wheel is either clear top or woodgrain.

I've always wondered what old John DeLorean was looking at in those pictures, especially the second one!

Probably looking to see if the Giant Canada Geese are going to take off and do a fly-over.

I believe it to be the same prototype in all three photos. It also appears in a couple of print ads.

Wouter,
Take a look at Bob S's two picture posting, and look at the top picture. It shows the 400 bars and arrowhead on a non-400 car. So all you need to add is the arrowhead.
Interesting "factory" photo showing a configuration that was never offered to the public...

I don't know who that GUY is standing next to the car. But maybe he knows somebody at the plant.

(lower picture)I like the jobsetter/inspector looking on in the assembly line picture. He's looking at the big guy wiping the car thinking, "If you scratch one more car with that fat belt buckle I'm going to kick your arse!"

They look like the pair that stopped by at a car show. As they lean up against the car and ask. Do these hand prints wipe off easy.

That young man is the perfect example. For the use of a child booster seat. How is he expected to drive when he can't even see over the dash. 1st pic is that green primer OUCH. No one hurt I hope.

Looks like 'Mini Wouter' needs some seat extenders. Ah, well, maybe some feet extenders. Nice pic.
