The first Delorean Model! - Stuart Rees - 10 Sep 2010 Interesting Ebay item, showing that Mattel were interested in producing a model car based on the prototype.... plus a letter from JZD rejecting the current design. http://cgi.ebay.com/Photo-DELOREAN-DMC- ... 2a09e3574c Re: The first Delorean Model! - Chris Williams - 11 Sep 2010 Thats interesting, shame the cars not with it as well, wonder who has that one then! Chris Re: The first Delorean Model! - dmcscott2002 - 17 Sep 2010 I've not got one of the new hotwheels models so I don't know if its the same but could it be taken from the same model? they look similar from the pics I've seen. Re: The first Delorean Model! - Stuart Rees - 17 Sep 2010 I don't know if Mattel ever did bring out a model in the early 80s.... Perhaps they dusted off the original mould and reworked it, or started again from scratch, who knows Re: The first Delorean Model! - Matt Clark - 20 Sep 2010 They released the "Turismo" which was a pretty clear take on Proto1, they just added a raised bonnet to get around the look-alike issues. http://www.odinartcollectables.com/imag ...
