All it needs is a flux capacitor added onto it

 

Its a rocket beetle, not a time machine.... Although it does look better than a delorian...

 

No way, the delorean was a piece of art!

Plus take into consideration you could go back to 1955...

 

Delorean was a typical General Maintence Piece of junk. It should have stayed in 1955

 

Yeah the cool factor of it was about the best thing i believe!

 

cool factor.... cool is a Lambo, or a Ferrari, Anything Italian... Delorian were made by GM to fit into the "cool catagory" and they were about as cool as a Yugo...

 

Ahhh, sorry about your grill lady.

 

The Delorean sportscar was not made by GM, they had nothing to do with it.

The car was built in Northern Ireland 1981/83 by the Delorean Motor Company, founded by John Z. Delorean, a former Packard and after 1956, a Pontiac engineer.
He later became the president of the Pontiac Division of GM.

The Delorean powertrain was sourced from Peugeot. The car was built of stainless steel, most were not painted.

Delorean was the 'father' of the first Muscle Car, the 1964 Pontiac GTO.

 

I was watching Chop, Cut, Rebuild. I think the car was concieved from the original plans for the Bricklin. At one time he wanted Delorean to work for him but he wanted too much money. I may be wrong but I think that is what the Bricklin designer said.

 

Malcolm Bricklin built his car in Canada in the mid 1970's. I didn't know that Delorean was asked to get involved.

Bricklin is an eccentric (to say the least) millionaire, and was previously involved with Subaru. His latest venture is importing cars made by the Chery Automobile Group of China.

He's supposedly signed up some Chrysler dealers to sell the cars here in the US.

 

Thanks Bill for clearing that up

 

Some cool info there.

I still think they look cool

 

I'm pretty sure he said the Delorean was based on the first plans of the Bricklin.

I think he said the had a deal for Delorean to work for him for 27 mil/yr. Then Delorean said he wanted that after taxes and that was what quashed the deal

 

He got greedy with 27 mil?!
