书籍简介

荣耀、丑闻、没落、名声和重生——探索这位叛逆汽车业巨头的戏剧性故事，他驾驶的这辆不锈钢车身、鸥翼式跑车是《回到未来》中我们熟知和喜爱的车型。

您以为自己知道的故事：《德罗宁》讲述了约翰·Z·德罗宁的一生和职业生涯，从他在通用汽车公司的成功职业生涯（他在通用汽车公司推动了庞蒂克 GTO 的推出并掀起了 60 年代的肌肉车热潮）到 1975 年德罗宁汽车公司的成立以及 1981 年推出的以他的名字命名的标志性跑车。

尽管德罗宁是一家美国汽车和公司，但它的故事融合了意大利设计、英国金融支持和在政治紧张的贝尔法斯特从头开始建造的工厂的有趣组合。

故事开始于 1982 年，当时 DeLorean 陷入了一场交易，公司破产了。虽然约翰·德罗宁被判无罪，但DMC 很快就破产了。

在洛杉矶贩毒案审判之后，约翰·德罗宁一生都在不知疲倦地努力重振他的汽车、他的名字和他的公司——不幸的是，成功率很低。

出乎意料的是，DeLorean 汽车凭借在 1985 年大热电影《回到未来》（及其两部续集）中的出色表现获得了新的追随者。自 1982 年 DMC 破产以来，多家实体一直在努力重振该品牌，以适应现代、当今市场和新观众。

DeLorean 并没有被扔进汽车历史的垃圾箱，而是获得了流行文化地位，并且仍然广受认可，如今越来越受到人们的赞赏。

本书消除了人们对 DMC 的普遍误解，通过一本设计精美的书籍向您讲述了完整的故事，书中配有历史图片、时期广告和当代照片。无论您是汽车爱好者、汽车历史学家还是流行文化爱好者，您都一定会享受这趟旅程。

Glory, scandal, downfall, fame, and rebirth—discover the dramatic story of the rebel auto industry titan behind the stainless-steel-bodied, gull-winged sports car we all know and love from Back to the Future.

The tale you thought you knew: DeLorean recounts the life and career of John Z. DeLorean, from his successful career with General Motors, where he was instrumental in launching the Pontiac GTO and jump-starting the ’60s muscle car phenomenon, to the founding in 1975 of the DeLorean Motor Company and its 1981 launch of the now-iconic sports car bearing his name.

Although a decidedly American car and company, the DeLorean story blends an interesting cocktail of Italian design, British financial backing, and a built-from-the-ground-up factory in politically fraught Belfast.

The story turns, beginning in 1982, as DeLorean is entrapped in asting and the company goes into bankruptcy. Though John DeLorean was acquitted ultimately, the original DMC was done all too soon. 

After the Los Angeles trial, John DeLorean worked tirelessly, for the rest of his life, to revive his car, his name, and his company—unfortunately with limited success.

Unexpectedly, the DeLorean car gained a new following based on its starring role in the 1985 movie hit Back to the Future(and its two sequels). Since DMC’s bankruptcy in 1982, several entities have continued efforts to revive the brand for modern times, today’s marketplace, and new audiences. 

Rather than consignment to the dustbin of automotive history, the DeLorean has achieved pop-culture status and remains well recognized, with growing appreciation today.

Dispelling common misconceptions about DMC, DeLorean gives you the complete story in one handsomely designed volume illustrated throughout with historic images, period ads, and contemporary photos. Whether you are a car enthusiast, automotive historian, or a pop-culture fan, you are sure to enjoy the ride.
