‘Back to the Future’ car still turns heads – 9News
In 1981, the motoring world was captivated by a sleek sports car and its maverick designer John DeLorean.
In 1973 John DeLorean, a handsome engineer from Detroit, had just left his job as the youngest division head in General Motors’ history to establish his own business, the DeLorean Motor Company, or DMC.
It would not be a smooth ride. DMC would end up bankrupt less than a decade later and DeLorean himself would be arrested by the FBI in a cocaine trafficking sting operation.
But, in a way, the gamble paid off: His car, despite its flaws and troubled genesis, found a place in history.
