Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. The Gold DeLorean cars were a promotional campaign for a popular credit card company. What company sponsored the Gold DeLoreans?

Answer: American Express

American Express sponsored the Gold DeLorean promotional campaign for its "Goldcard" holders. The Gold DeLoreans were featured in the American Express Christmas catalogue in December, 1979.
2. What was the gold on the cars made out of?

Answer: 24-Karat Gold Plating

The gold on the Gold DeLoreans is actually 24-Karat Gold that has been electroplated onto the stainless steel panels, which came standard with the DeLorean cars. The cars are so detailed that the gold plating was not only featured on the stainless steel panels, but was extended to the rims and tailpipes of the cars.
3. How many cars were intended to be made for the Gold DeLorean promotional campaign?

Answer: 100

DeLorean Motor Company made a deal with American Express to produce 100 gold-plated cars to be sold in the catalogue.
4. How many Gold DeLoreans were actually produced out of the original number?

Answer: 2

Out of the original 100 gold cars commissioned by American Express, only two were actually made by DeLorean Motor Company.
5. What is the year model for the Gold DeLoreans?

Answer: 1981

The year model for the Gold DeLoreans was 1981, and the cars came off the assembly line in late 1981. DeLorean Motor Company produced car models 1981-1983 before it went under in late 1982. DeLorean never made 1980 models, the earliest was 1981.
6. How much did one of the Gold DeLoreans cost?

Answer: $85,000

One of these Gold DeLoreans cost (US) $85,000! This was a stark contrast to the Gold DeLorean's less-costly stainless steel counterpart, which cost (US) $25,000. In order to buy the gold car from American Express, there was a required (US) $10,000 deposit.
7. How much was the insurance premium on a Gold DeLorean?

Answer: $1,000 a month

In addition to paying the 85,000 dollars for the car, one could expect their car insurance payments on the Gold DeLorean to be $1,000 a month. Repair costs on the Gold DeLoreans were also rediculous; a door ding could cost as much as (US) $24,000 to repair!
8. How many Gold DeLoreans are known to exist in total?

Answer: 4

In addition to the original two Gold DeLoreans made by the DeLorean Motor Company in 1981, two more Gold DeLoreans were assembled in the United States using spare parts from the first two Gold DeLoreans, which brings the grand total to four Gold DeLoreans. However, the original two Gold DeLoreans are considered to be superior to the others that were assembled from the spare parts.
9. What were the colors of the interiors on the ORIGINAL Gold DeLoreans?

Answer: Saddle-brown & Black

The two original Gold DeLoreans that were produced had saddle-brown and black leather interiors. Black and Gray leather were standard on all DeLoreans, and saddle-brown would have been also listed as a standard interior color on later production models, had DeLorean Motor Company not gone out of business. So the 1979 prototype of the DeLorean and one of the original 1981 Gold DeLoreans are the only cars that have saddle-brown interiors.
10. Where do the ORIGINAL Gold DeLoreans reside today?

Answer: Texas and Nevada

The two original Gold DeLoreans currently reside in Texas and Nevada. VIN 4301, the black interior Gold DeLorean sits in a display case in a bank in Snyder, Texas. The owner of this Gold DeLorean bought the gold car in 1981 for (US) $85,000 and is selling it for (US) $175,000. VIN 4300, the saddle-brown interior Gold DeLorean is on display at the National Automobile Museum as part of the Harrah Collection in Reno, Nevada. I have even had the pleasure of seeing this rare beauty in person on several occasions.
