Wow, only a little bit after I posted up this thread

DeLorean first made his mark at General Motors in the early Sixties by creating the Pontiac GTO. His stainless steel gull-winged De Lorean is a unique and beautiful piece of automotive sculpture that still turns heads on the streets.

Mourners will find his funeral procession by following the thin white lines to the burial site.

If you're going to build a time machine out of a car why not do it with some style?

I remember back when the FBI tried to frame in in a drug scheme.

Building a car that was iimpervious to rust just wasn't going to be allowed to happen in those days. Even the Delorean as a concept car just scared the crap out of the Detroit machinery.

Yeah all kinds of "monkey wrenches" were thrown at him.

His first "big" project that brought him fame was the 1964 GTO Pontiac.
