Hopefully Hyperv6 chimes in here. He's an encyclopedia when it comes to these cars.

I'm assuming you came here because you think somehow if this story is true that your Fiero will be worth more. Hate to break it to you but regardless of whether DeLorean signed it or not, I doubt anyone will pay any extra for the car. DeLorean had nothing to do with the Fiero so why would a Fiero owner care if DeLorean signed it? It would be like me seeing Jay Leno at a car show where I was showing my car and asking him to sign the decklid. Ok so does that make my Fiero more valuable? Probably not. Perhaps if DeLorean signed a DeLorean it might matter.
So anyway, what are you trying to get from proving this story to be true? Do you think all of a sudden it's worth $2000 more or something from his signature (Assuming he did sign it)?

You are correct he did leave , in the post I put up , you will read deloreon was in Pontiac in 86 as a contractor not a employee to inspect the fire protection and install . According to the man at Gilmore’s museum ( who was the and talked to him and had lunch with him ) this is solid , the question that I had would be on how to get this authencated . There are appently 50 of these cars out there according to Gilmore’s museum that were inspected but it is unknown how many out of the 50 were inspected by deloreon , according to Gilmore’s museum this would be number 15 that is known |

Welcome to Pennocks! I see that you're new, so I want to make sure you know we absolutely welcome you here, even if people are giving you a hard time.
I know that Delorean had a huge impact on the Fiero. The Fiero project absolutely pre-dated 1984 and had been in the works with GM for almost a decade. His influence on the car is absolute. Hulki of course designed it, but the general layout likely originally came from Delorean based on what I've read.
I'd never heard about the inspection though... I don't know what fire wrap they put on Fieros, mostly they simply just removed things (like the weatherstripping, etc.). My guess is that I'd prod the guy at Gilmore's museum a little bit more. This is a first heard for me, and while I don't claim to be an expert in Fieros, I've been working on them for about 20 years and hadn't heard anything about Delorean being on the factory floor during that time. Doesn't mean it didn't happen though!
Just wanted to add to this... I'm not sure that the signature represents what you might be implying. Back in the day, a lot of mechanics would write the date / time that the car was serviced. Most people didn't carry a service book in their car, and this kind of concept is what resulted in the sticker going in the upper left corner of the windshield. People have been doing this for ages, and it's also a very common thing in watch repair. I have an odd hobby of renovating / restoring Swiss watches, and when you open them up, you'll see a lot of jewelers will do that exact same thing on the inside (etched) stating the date / time, and their initials. Basically means the watch was disassembled, cleaned, and re-assembled.
I wouldn't think too much into it.
If I didn't know any better though, I'd think you were looking to start a new creepypasta like the whole Polybius story...

Perhaps he was working at the plant as part of a work release program? Quick, someone needs to notify Wikipedia!
