The tale you thought you knew, DeLorean recounts the life and career of John DeLorean, from his successful career with General Motors, where he was instrumental in launching the legendary Pontiac GTO, to the founding in 1975 of the DeLorean Motor Company and its 1981 launch of the now-iconic sports car bearing his name. Although a decidedly American car and company, the DeLorean story blends an exotic cocktail of Italian design, British financing, an Irish factory, a drug sting, and Hollywood. Thanks to the 1985 hit movie Back to the Future, DeLorean escaped consignment to the dustbin of automotive history and instead achieved pop-culture status and remains well-recognized with growing appreciation today. Dispelling common misconceptions about DMC, DeLorean relates the complete story in one handsomely designed volume illustrated throughout with historic images, period ads, and contemporary photos. Whether you are a car enthusiast, automotive historian, or a pop-culture fan, you are sure to enjoy the ride.
