The DeLorean Returns?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,293814,00.html
HUMBLE, Texas — In a nondescript warehouse in east Texas, mechanic and entrepreneur Stephen Wynne is bringing a rare sports car back to life. If he succeeds, he almost certainly has Michael J. Fox to thank.
A quarter century after DeLorean Motor Co. began making its glitzy, $25,000 two-seater — an operation that collapsed after two years — Wynne's small automotive outfit plans to bring the vehicle back into limited production at a 40,000-square-foot factory in this Houston suburb.

That's awesome. A friend of mine in high school, her dad had one and he took me out a few times in it.

DeLorean's best days were at Pontiac. It's a shame what happened to him.

No doubt. If DeLorean became president of GM instead of leaving, the 70s and 80s would have been completely different for GM.
