On this episode of The Downshift, we take a look back at one of the most interesting chapters in automotive history: the birth and death of the DeLorean Motor Company. When John DeLorean left GM to start his own line of eponymous cars no one had any idea the real-life Hollywood story that would play out over the upcoming years to turn the DeLorean DMC-12 into the icon of a generation!
