John DeLorean died yesterday. This came as a complete shock to me. I grew up absolutely in love with DeLoreans, hell Back to the Future was always my favorite trilogy...this really saddens me, he was an innovator in the auto industry....

Rest in peace, John.

I was not paying attention to what was being said, but on TV yesterday I saw video of him walking and talking and wondered what it was all about ...now I guess it was file footage and they were reporting his death. He was definitely a business wheeler-dealer-innovator.

One of the biggest drug dealers that got off easy, if I had anything to say about it...
He did make beautiful cars, though..

:rolleyes:


not many realize exactly how many cars Dellorean designed...


the DMC was prolly ont of the least popular of his designs, the most popular was prolly the GTO...

that man was the person most responsible for the muscle car era, and for that alone there is a VERY special place for him in heaven :D


godspeed.

I hope I live at least that long....I don't want to be nearly that nortorious :D RIP John DeLorean....

I thought it was a sick looking car, may he rest in peace...

the 1969 pontiac firebird the only year dellorean worked with them, have one in my driveway ;) absolutely amazing car

i agree he was a major contributor to the muscle car era.. and through such, american culture/economy as a whole
motorheads across the world bow their heads and mourn his passing.


wonder if the collectors value of the dellorean has gone up since this..

A true genius...too lighten up the mood heres a joke.

Why do you never see a delorean in the ditch?










Cause it always follows the white line!

HAHAHAHAHAHA, I just spat water all over my desk. I hate you! :lol:

I never was a huge fan of his cars, but he contributed a lot to the muscle car world.

DeLorean was a lot like Tucker - Way ahead of his time. Genius sometimes this way comes....

We have lost another major innovator. This is sad.
