Yes, it's orange.
I brought some used motor oil to AdvancedAuto last week, and the floor person offered to help me cart it in from the parking lot. Upon seeing my car, he immedietly exclaimed; "Hey, that looks like a 'Back to the Future' car!"
Me:
Clerc: "Did you see that movie, 'Back to the Future? What kind of car was that?"
After I briefly explain what model my Buick is: "does it have a 3.1?"
Me: "Nope. A 3800."
Clerk: "oh, a 3.8."
After a bit of conversation, I discover he is not old enough to have been born when my car was built.

I recently purchased (another) LeSabre T-type ('89). Silver car but the previous owner had installed a (gloss black) replacement front air dam & rear air foil without having them painted to match the car.
So I guess it looks like a Delorean.
