The DeLorean Motor Company was formed by John DeLorean in 1975. The brand is best known for its single car model, the stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12. The sports car gained fame in Back to the Future, even though the motor company was bankrupt in 1982, three years before the film was released.

“I got my 15 minutes of fame when I designed the logo for John DeLorean’s car company.”

When I worked as a tyre fitter, one customer drove his DeLorean in.

According to this article, when John DeLorean died in 2005 at the age of 80, “he was buried in blue jeans and a black motorcycle jacket, playing the rebel to the end.”
