"In 1975, John Z. DeLorean founded the DeLorean Motor Company with one goal in mind: To design and build a car that would be as safe as possible, reliable, comfortable, handel and perform well, be enormous fun to drive and unmistakably elegant in appearance.

John DeLorean, born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, was involved with the automobile industry all of his life. Early on in his career, he had been recruited to become the chief engineer at Pontiac. He is best known for bringing to life the GTO in 1964. DeLorean had many successful years with Pontiac, and in 1969 was promoted to the position of General Manager of Chevrolet. Over the next few years he made noticeable improvements to Chevrolet's design and quality. 

In 1973, DeLorean was promoted to Vice President of General Motors American car and truck divisions he was expected to become GM's next president, but due to constant disagreements with General Motors management, they parted ways.

Free from General Motors, DeLorean was now able to focus his attention on fulfilling his own dream of making the DeLorean planned to debut the DMC-12 carried a window sticker price around $28,000 and featured gullwing doors, rear-mounted engine, 304 grade stainless steel body panels which will never rust and a PRV-6 engine and transmission made by Renault in France. The interior was available in either Black or Gray, with leather seats, power windows and mirrors, air conditioning and adjustable steering wheel. Initial sales for the DMC-12 were outstanding, but by early 1982 sales fell drastically and forced DeLorean to search for more receivership and eventually went bankrupt in 1983.


The DeLorean Motor Company, Ltd. produced approximately 8,600 DMC-12s between 1981 and 1983.
