While at GM, he created what some consider the first "muscle car" in 1964 by cramming a V-8 engine into a Pontiac Tempest and calling it the GTO.

A beautiful creation. .....from '65.

So his flux capacitor must have gone out. The DeLorean was a beautiful automobile. God Bless John DeLorean!

He had some fun for a while, then too much fun for a while. Could say he died young without accomplishing anything even though he was an active child and 80 isn't all that young.

Car DeveloperCoke Dealer John DeLorean Dies at 80

[Clemenza]

One of my childhood heroes. I remember being seven years old and seeing Delorean on TV talking about his new models. He really seemed like a really cool guy and I loved the side hatch doors. He made the rather unsexy automobile industry (which my father worked in) look cool.

A few months later, he was on TV snorting coke.

"That's right, Marty, I built a time machine out of a DeLorean.... I figure, since John DeLorean almost DID TIME because of this baby, it makes perfect sense...."
