GMC vs DMC: when a dream car crashes into war, politics and drugs

john delorean and his wife cristina ferrare

the design of the DMC 12 by giorgetto giugiaro

the factory in belfast smack in the middle of the IRA wars

great BBC docu on the downfall

john delorean worked at GMC (general motors company) and became one of its highly paid presidents, he was cocky and brash and surely pissed off a lot of top brass at the company. he was fired / he resigned (depending whom you ask) to build his dream car company named DMC (delorean motors company). GMC was not happy. margaret thatcher and ronlad reagans FBI somehow were involved in bringing the company down and convicting john delorean on drug charges. he was ruined, the company went bankrupt, but all charges where dropped. john became a born again christian and supposedly went to heaven. by uh
