Video Explores The Unbelievable Story of The Rise and Fall of The DeLorean
The DeLorean is easily the most 80s car that was ever built in the 80s and after it was featured in the film Back To The Future, every kid dreamed of owning one of those cars one day! Little did any of us know at the time of the insane story behind the incredibly cool-looking car!
I know a lot of us now know the history of the car, but Weird History released a new video that does a great job of recounting its history in under 15 minutes. The video came with the following notes:
It’s an iconic car, the DeLorean, made famous by its fundamental role in the Back to the Future movies – but do you know the man behind the car? Do you know the John DeLorean story?
The DeLorean’s namesake, John DeLorean, lived a life so intriguing that it’s now the subject of two major movies. Framing John DeLorean, featuring Alec Baldwin, was released in July 2019, a mashup of documentary footage and reenactments of DeLorean’s extraordinary path. A month later brought the arrival of Driven starring Jason Sudeikis and Lee Pace and detailing DeLorean’s exhaustive – albeit questionable – quest to make the innovative, ethical sports car.
Enjoy the video! Did any of you buy yourself a DeLorean when you grew up!?
