Looks like the mainstream media's elbowing in like a French auto journalist on our new DeLorean story from the Woodward Dream Cruise (gallery of the DeLorean parade re-included below). As you can see from the video above, the good folks at the Texas-based DeLorean Motor Company decided to give the exclusive on the first completed brand-new DeLorean to ABC's morning show. It makes us sad that we didn't get it. But, we're happy to see the first one built from old parts looks exactly like the old one. We kind of expected as much. While it's nice — we're interested to see what, if any, changes are made to the new DeLoreans to be built from all-new parts rather than stock-piled mothball-smelling pieces they've been keeping in the back room.
