@SparrowNoblePoland 3 года назад

He did a really good job at Pontiac. GTO was made by gaming the GM's internal regulations. Firebird became an icon on it's own, then it went to become the Bandit's car from the films, and was the car that created the term 'Rockford Turn'. And then when DeLorean left, GM gave a new manager a task to 'save them or shut them'. He didn't have to do much, as Glen Larson specifically requested new Firebird to be Knight 2000 car in Knight Rider, which made it world famous and probably as iconic as DeLorean car. Jay Leno also repeatedly stated that Firebird was always better than Camaro.

@donaldekhoff7999 2 года назад

I had the good fortune of being the first person to go through a box of papers taken from John's Belfast office by a cleanout worker helping to clear the factory. He took the large box home and only brought it out for a 20 year reunion at the factory put on by the DeLorean Owners Association. The press were present and it was decided that I would be the one to open the box and examine the contents live on camera. I actually had a 15 min. advance opportunity to get a preview and gather my thoughts. What struck me was a Telex John sent from New York after exiting the Concord flight following his visit to Lotus Cars in Norwich, UK. It was addressed to Colin Chapman and was an action list of items needing attention regarding the interior fit and finish of the prototype. John's attention to detail showed a loving regard for the car. He wanted it to rise beyond being the sum of it's parts into a seamless artistic expression. A con artist would have ticked that box and moved on: Not John. I now have several DeLorean cars and being an engineer myself have great respect for the man. I also, by chance, spent hours with Georgetto Giugiaro, the future designer of the DeLorean coachwork, at the 1963 Turino Auto Show where he was displaying his first creation, The Iso Grifo A3. He and DeLorean passionately created a car that was truly special and remains so today.

@ChengTeoh 4 года назад

Damn, it's scary to think that Elon Musk was in a similar situation ( ie. near bankruptcy ) not too long ago before investors rescued him with some Christmas "donations". Poor DeLorean, I've always been a fan of the design of the car ever since the Back to the Future movies and never realized that there was such a sad story attached to the vehicle.

Very tempted to buy DeLorean one day! It makes the car a lot more special when you know the creator was so passionate about it and was willing to do anything to keep it going! Plus Back to the Future is basically my childhoods fav film lol.

Last I checked John DeLorean never profited from emeralds gotten by slave mining so there is at least one big difference that makes John cooler. Also John didn't have a twitter where he was constantly melting down.

Near where I used to live in the UK a guy had some vintage cars and he often had his DeLorean on the street to clean it. Walking past one day, I had a chance to look it over. Up close, they really are stunning cars, even today. It's a shame about the performance issues and the generic parts they used, because it certainly stood out from the crowd.

What most people don't realize is that Delorean never spent a single day in prison. GM, Ford, and Chrysler didn't want any competition from a new startup. It's sad what happened. There's a company in Texas that bought all the parts in inventory. They can build a brand new Delorean from all the parts. Thank you.

@thomasaquinas5262 3 года назад

I agree with you totally. However, there was only a limited market for such a specialized vehicle as the DeLorean. Further, we don't know how much longer the UK would buoy it up. The workforce were all taught on the spot and never inspired any confidence. Most DeLoreans had to have quality repaired into them...
