The fall of an automotive star John DeLorean began his automotive career with Packard in the 1950s, and was recruited to Pontiac in 1959. A rising star at Pontiac, DeLorean pioneered the successful GTO and Grand Prix, and by the late 1960s had risen to the top position in a company that was behind only Chevrolet and Ford in sales. In 1970, DeLorean was moved to manage the Chevrolet Divi- sion, and by 1973 Chevy was selling a record 3,000,000 cars and trucks, with DeLorean seeming a top candi- date for General Motors’ (GM) next presidency. But in late-1973, he walked away from his $650,000 job at GM, boasting he was “going to show them how to build cars.” After raising nearly $200 million in financing, DeLorean formed the DeLorean Motor Company in 1974, and constructed a car factory in Northern Ireland.

  • The History of Delorean DMC-12
    The History of The DeLorean DMC-12 Delorean Introduction The DeLorean DMC-12 is a two-seater sports car that was manufactured by the DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) for the US market from 1981 to 1982. It featured gull-wing doors with a fiberglass underbody to which non-structural brushed stainless steel panels were affixed. Manufactured in Northern Ireland it is most commonly known simply as the DeLorean, as it was the only model ever produced by the company. The first prototype appeared in March 1976, and production officially began in 1981 (with the first DMC-12 rolling off the production line on January 21) at the DMC factory in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. Over nine thousand DMC-12s were made before production stopped in December 1982. Today, about 6,500 DeLorean Motor Cars are believed to still exist. It is perhaps best remembered when it shot to worldwide fame in the Back to the Future movie trilogy starring Michael J Fox and Christopher Lloyd. The car was transformed into a time machine by the eccentric scientist Doctor Emmett L. Brown - the company had ceased to exist before the first movie was ever made in 1985. DeLorean History In October 1976, the first prototype DeLorean DMC-12 was completed by William T. Collins chief engineer and designer (formerly chief engineer at Pontiac). Originally, the car's rear- mounted power plant was to be a Citroën Wankel rotary engine, but was replaced with a French-designed and produced PRV (Peugeot-Renault-Volvo) fuel injected V-6 because of the poor fuel economy from the rotary engine, an important issue at a time of world-wide fuel shortages.

    NOT PRECEDENTIAL UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE THIRD CIRCUIT ______________ No. 18-3333 ______________ SALLY DELOREAN, as administratrix for The Estate of John Z. DeLorean Appellant v. DELOREAN MOTOR COMPANY (Texas) ______________ On Appeal from the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (D.C. Civ. No. 2-18-cv-08212) District Judge: Honorable Jose L. Linares ______________ Submitted Under Third Circuit L.A.R. 34.1(a) October 21, 2019 ______________ Before: GREENAWAY, JR., PORTER, and COWEN, Circuit Judges. (Opinion Filed: December 5, 2019) ______________ OPINION* _____________ GREENAWAY, JR., Circuit Judge. This case requires that we interpret a Settlement Agreement entered into by Sally DeLorean as administratrix of the Estate of John Z. DeLorean (the “Estate”) and DeLorean Motor Company (Texas) (“DMC Texas”) in the action Estate of DeLorean v. DeLorean Motor Company (Texas), No. 2:14-cv-1146 (D.N.J.). The question presented is whether the Settlement Agreement precludes the Estate’s claims in this action. The District Court found that it did, and the Estate appealed. For the following reasons, we will affirm. BACKGROUND In the 1970s, John Z. DeLorean founded the DeLorean Motor Company (“DMC”). DMC designed, manufactured, and sold an automobile named the DMC 12, which featured gull-wing doors. DMC ceased operations in 1979 and was subsequently dissolved through bankruptcy proceedings. * This disposition is not an opinion of the full Court and pursuant to I.O.P. 5.7 does not constitute binding precedent. 2 A. The Universal Agreement DMC may have gone defunct decades ago, but the DeLorean automobile remains culturally relevant in large measure due to Universal Pictures’s popular “Back to the Future” film series, which prominently features the DeLorean automobile.

  • The Geographical Factors on the Failure of Bricklin Canada Limited
    THE GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS ON THE FAILURE OF BRICKLIN CANADA LIMITED BY SHAWN M. WILLIAMSON A Research Paper Submitted to the Department of Geography in Fulfilment of the Requirements of Geography 4C6 McMaster University April 1991 ABSTRACT This research paper investigates the factors on business failure in the Maritime region of Canada via a sample study of Bricklin Canada Ltd. This sample illustrates· the effects of regionalism and geographic location on the manufacturing industry. This company's failure will be examined as how it arose from reasons including geographic isolation, regional disparities, externalities, scale economies and external forces. A study of this particular industrial failure will lend insights regarding the needs of future regional policy. Although businesses from these marginalized regions of Canada have realized success, there are still a great many steps yet to take. A means must be found to re­ introduce a self-sustaining economy to these regionalized areas of Canada where it is lacking. i i ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to take this opportunity ,to thank all those who have contributed to this paper. My sincere thanks to Dr. Liaw, my staff advisor, who took the time and effort to guide me through my work in the past year. I would also like to thank the following gentlemen for their assistance, expertise and time. Dr. Ralph Matthews of the McMaster University Sociology Department for being my "East Coast Correspondent". Dr. Archie Hamielec of the McMaster University Chemical Engineering Department for ·being my witness and expert on the Bricklin situation. Marvin Ryder of the McMaster University Business Department for his insights and information on the Canadian automotive industry.

  • Six Theses on Saving the Planet
    Six Theses on Saving the Planet By Richard Smith From the earliest days of the Industrial Revolution, workers, trade unionists, radicals, and socialists have fought against the worst depredations of capitalist development: intensifying exploitation, increasing social polarization, persistent racism and sexism, deteriorating work- place health and safety conditions, environmental ravages, and relentless efforts to suppress democratic political gains under the iron heel of capital. Yet, even as we fight to hold onto the few gains we’ve made, today, the engine of global capitalist development has thrown up a new and unprecedented threat, an existential threat to our very survival as a species. The engine of economic development that has brought unprecedented material gains, and revolutionized human life, now threatens to develop us to death, to drive us over the cliff to extinction, along with numberless other species. Excepting the threat of nuclear war, the runaway locomotive yst w s em p e s n s o l s a s i s b o i l p o it r ie s & p of capitalist development is the greatest peril humanity has ever faced. This essay addresses this threat and contends that there is no possible solution to our exis- tential crisis within the framework of any conceivable capitalism. It suggests that, impossible as this may seem at present, only a revolutionary overthrow of the existing social order, and the institution of a global eco-socialist democracy, has a chance of preventing global ecological collapse and perhaps even our own extinc- tion. By “global eco-socialist democracy,” I mean a world economy composed of communities and nations of self-governing, associated producer-consumers, cooperatively managing their mostly planned, mostly publicly-owned, and glob- ally coordinated economies in the interests of the common good and future needs of humanity, while leaving aside ample resources for the other species with which we share this small blue planet to live out their lives to the full.
