This is really a wonderfully written article on Kat DeLorean— the ups and downs of her upbringing, what she has been up to in her own life, and what she is doing now to keep her Dad's legacy alive.

"DeLorean's most notable contribution to Pontiac was the Pontiac GTO (Gran Turismo Omologato), a muscle car named after the Ferrari 250 GTO... This marked the beginning of Pontiac's renaissance as GM's performance division..." – Pontiac Preservation Society

Lots of old timers might scoff, "Of course, everyone knows this!' but if you weren't around back then – how could you know?

Only recently did I find out that – not only was responsible for the development of the Pontiac GTO, but John DeLorean is largely considered to be the Father of the American muscle car.

Thats just covering the surface, his contributions to the Automotive Industry go so much further.

Throughout the documents there are bunch of hand written changes, which ultimately – as noted in this picture, he advises that those be ignored.

It's an interesting little snapshot of John DeLorean's mind
