I think it’s a very poetic shot, especially for a die-cast. From DMC’s Facebook page, where there appears to be a discussion in progress about whether any of the three actual gold-plated DeLoreans in existence came with the brown interior.

I’m looking forward to next week. I am expecting to take delivery of two new trucks that are going to be joining the Charger in the garage. One’s a 1948 F-1 and the other is a 1956 F-100. The beauty of these old Ford trucks is that they’re in show room condition, but they won’t cost me a penny in gas or maintenance. Okay, they’re not exactly "real"—they are actually die cast models. What I have noticed over the years is that car nuts like myself typically have other aspects to their automotive hobby. For myself and a few other friends, it’s cars and die cast models. There are some people that I know who collect car badges, while others I have heard of collect carburetors. Of course we all have other interests outside of cars, but I think it’s great to be able to do something car related on the days when you can’t go to a car show or work on your vehicles. Do you have something that you collect as an extension of your car hobby?
