by Staff, November 25, 2009
Bobby Hundreds continues his tour within DeLorean Motor Co. headquarters in Humble, Texas. This second part finds The Hundreds’ co-founder inside the main showroom, giving us a closer look into DeLorean’s iconic DMC-12 model. Stay tuned for the third part which includes a behind-the-scenes peek into the body shop. In conjunction with this cross-industry collaboration, both companies have a couple of events planned both The Hundreds Los Angeles and The Hundreds San Francisco locations. Stay tuned.
BORING!
well, I can say from personal experience that this car at the time was in fact a head turner and conversation piece. Both for the car and for the story about the makers demise. I was 12 when my dad bought one and can honestly say that the necks were breaking every day when I got dropped off to school. As far as the whole played out colabo argument goes, it’s hard to disagree…but bringing this car back to life and not doing it by bastardizing the whole back to the future thing is cool in my book. Maybe it’s just cause I’m old though :)
nigo rich… lol. riiiight. don’t think so.
I try to like The Hundreds. I’ve even picked up a few tees (without bombs and “THE HUNDREDS” plastered all over it) from past collections. Lately though they seem to be a little broke in the creative department, the skate wear equivalent of “bubble gum pop”.
This DeLorean thing, what does one have to do with the other? Seriously. Is it just to throw a print of a fondly remembered but fundamentally terrible car on a tee because the mainstream is still milking the 80’s for everything it’s got? This isn’t what a collaboration is about. It’s about two people/groups coming together to do something innovative. Putting two names on packaging for the sake of a few sale is a little…
If you have built up a platform, use it well.
EXCEEDED CAR
i love colabos, but everybody is doing colabs now, which is playing it out :(.
im not sure where this hundredsxdelorean collaboration is going but i have no clue wtf is happening.
the delorean is a classic
Yeah don’t understand what some street clothing line is going to do w/ some out of business car company.. OH Wow so clever !! What Imagination!!!
The DeLorean was an underpowered POS.
Yup…..been there before! Big shout out to Warren at DMCH
Dude, has gotta be like Nigo rich; why doesn’t he just buy one?
Dope car!!!!!!
dope, back to the future
I love that car.
Pretty pointless collaboration. I really feel that collabs are what really killed streetwear. Especially in cases like these, that are really just unnecessary. Can anyone say “reaching”.
Cool.
Wow, John DeLorean will be proud, although the true legacy of this car is purely mythical. Although the stainless steel body was innovative and attractive, this was never a premiere automobile, not in its time, and not today.
