Ohh, nice call.

Master, I don't know if you'll read this, but there's a problem with my text box. It only shows two lines. Anyone else getting this problem?

Is it a race car?
In the sense of "open wheel" or "dragsters", no.

Is it an expensive car?
No. (But "expensive" is a relative term)

Is the manufacturer still in business?
Yes.

Is IT a Delorean?
No.

IT was the first of it's kind.

REVISION and additional hint: It IS still being made, in the sense of it's lineage, however there was a break between the original lineage and it's current lineage so it's a "sort of", and that is also the additional hint.

No: Plane, animal, smaller than a Flight Case, made before 1900, still being made, stationary, primarily used on water, made before 1950. run on rails, speculative, race car, expensive, DeLorean.

Sort of: Still being made

Yes: Man made, small enough to fit in the cargo area of a C-130, mostly metal, has moving parts, used for transportation, machine, used primarily to transport people, car, some are still in use, specific type, specific brand, 'merican made, manufacturer still in business.

Note to pim: Jeep was built by Willy's, then American Motors, both out of business now. Jeep is now built by Chrysler (no longer owned by Daimler, owned by the US and Candian governments.)

errr...Chrysler is owned by Fiat Merle. The US and Canada received less than 13% equity stake as security for their bailout loans (compared to Fiat's 20% interest at that time). Fiat paid them off a year ago and received all the government owned shares. Currently neither government has any ownership interest in Chrysler.

Is it a truck?
Is it a sedan?
