I am sure some of you recognized world-class vehicle called DeLorean. DeLorean died last Saturday in Summit of complications from a recent stroke.
The De Lorean DMC-12 was a sports car made by the De Lorean Motor Company from 1981 to 1983. The DMC-12 (also known simply as the De Lorean, as it was the only automobile produced by the company) featured gull-wing doors and a brushed, unpainted stainless steel body. Approximately 9,200 DMC-12s were produced and approximately 6,000 of them still exist today
His car was well-known from popular movie called “Back to the Future” movies, DeLorean left a powerful imprint in our society. No question about it.
There’s not much DMC vehicles left right now, I haven’t seen it anywhere in my area – not yet? I would love to have my own DeLorean car someday. This car is amazing!!

Wow, cool set of links. Did you hear about the car body dies (molds) that are supposedly at the bottom of the ocean of the Irish coast? That’s intriguing …
