t/a 6.6

I just bought a 1989 corvette. Its blue, with a blue interior, and looks like every other c4 i have seen. Yet on the back there is the normal corvette logo, and under that there is a logo that says by delorean. any clues about what this could be?

Could it have been something the previous owner(s) put on the car?

I was looking at the Corvette Black Book and there is no special option to indicate a reference to John DeLorean. His dealings with autos were basically done by 1983.

There's another possibility. George DeLorean (John Z.'s brother) had a shop in the Detroit area that did modifcations to new and used high performance cars. Could be something from there. Any idea if the car came from the Detroit area? Interesting, though... John Z. (turn toward Pontiac, MI and bow...) drove a '69 GTO in his latter years. I believe it's the one they (GM) gave him when they promoted him to Pres. of Chevrolet as a reward for turning Pontiac into the GM "performance marque". His influence at GM, and Pontiac in particular, lasted well into the late '80s, after he was gone on his own. The 3rd gen T/A was based on one of his concept cars "Banshee II" and Fiero was the last car he "penned" as a GM engineer.

The original owner was from michigan, is there any way to tell other than the badge?

GM in detroit....maybe a rare find, or a DeLorean nut.
