DeLorean was a high-flyer who let his media-driven 'legend' go to his head. He convinced hImself that he was not subject to the laws of economics and practical business - he tried to introduce an 'exotic' sports car into a national market with no post-sales support infrastructure. Even if he had managed to sell all 8,000 cars - there was no way to maintain them across the US.

He won his criminal case but his life totally fell apart from that moment on.

Not true. the car is based on standard off the shelf technology. I've got one sitting in my driveway 10 feet away.. It's got a Volvo motor. I can get parts at any car parts store. Anything else I can get from DMC of America in Texas. Or from my local, factory trained DMC mechanic.
