This is the story of an iconic car, a legendary Detroit maverick and an unusual chapter of automotive history. John DeLorean was an engineering whiz who designed the first-ever muscle car — the Pontiac GTO in 1964. In 1973, on the verge of becoming president of the world’s largest auto maker, he suddenly quit and struck out on his own to fulfill his dream of creating an affordable, sustainable, reliable sports car. With some big-name celebrity backers, he created the DeLorean. #growingbolder #carculture #cars #carcollection #delorean #backtothefuture #movies #carhistory #vintage #history
