DeLorean also didn't use flat panels on the body. Though it might look like it at first glance, none of the DeLorean panels were flat, they all had a slight curve.

All metal panels are gonna flex a bit in the changing temperatures.

Yes, it's almost as if making a car with completely flat body panels is an idea so completely idiotic even John DeLorean wouldn't do it...

I'm not sure if you're trying to be sarcastic or not, but look closely at the DeLorean, none of the panels were completely flat, they all had at least a subtle curve to them.
