1980s carmaker DeLorean dies at 80
Sunday, March 20, 2005
John DeLorean, developer of a futuristic sportscar that captured the country's attention in the 1980s, has died. He was 80.
DeLorean died Saturday at the Overlook Hospital in Summit, New Jersey, from complications from a stroke, said Paul Connell, owner of Desmond and Sons funeral home in Michigan.
DeLorean's stainless-steel, gull-winged car, which bore his name, became more engrained in American culture after director Robert Zemeckis used a DeLorean as a time machine in the 1985 film "Back to the Future" and its two sequels.
I'll remember him more for what he did for GM in the 1960's.
