Well, why not, we end puteshesvie Factory DeLorean and a story about the history of the company and its sole DMC-12 car.





That's what happens if you completely disassemble the DeLorean. As you probably already understand the engine in his rear, and the trunk under the hood. Maybe not the most convenient solution, but in any case cool.

It looks like the chassis.

The original instruction booklet and that got lucky ones who bought the DeLorean back in the early '80s:

DeLorean consists of several thousand items. I can not vouch for the accuracy of, but it seems like Stefan said that they 2850. Before you all the documentation and drawings of each of them.

Many people wonder whether it is possible to use as a daily DeLorean car, and the answer, oddly enough, yes. Run this car here, as many as 500 thousand kilometers, and it is still in excellent condition.

This museum exhibits. The guys from the factory are referred to as the inscription "cave paintings". They were left by workers who have made this door many years ago. The inscription reads: "This is the last right-hand door, gathered at the DMC. Above it worked Agkinson, Boyle, Gough, Barrett, Cody Ferris and Boatman. The end of the dream. Or not? »

Journey to the DeLorean factory proved extremely informative. And not only in terms of stories. It's funny that the once super-glamorous sports car created by playboy international scale, is now quietly sold and serviced in a sleepy Texas town just an American hard worker. And it makes the story more DMC Unique.

After the original factory closed, and John DeLorean lost his own creation, Stephen Wynn has acquired all rights to the name and brand and opened its first factory.

12.



There he is. The current owner of DeLorean Motor Co. His signature is on every car, going to the factory. Stefan was born in England and started a simple mechanic. Then preehal to the United States, opened in California tuners and once worked on the DMC-12, fell in love with him forever. In the early '80s, nobody really knew the car and did not want to deal with it, and Stefan love to do it. Over time, the business has grown, Stefan bought the rights to the DeLorean and devoted his life to the preservation of this corrosive phenomenon. This man - the idol of any fan of DMC.

13.



He is the son of Stephen - Cameron. His life has always been solid DeLorean. In the mid-80s, his father worked on the very same machine for the film (all of these things in the cabin - his handiwork), and from time to time picked up his son to school on time machine Doc Brown. The dream of every boy at the time, but the most common thing for Cameron.

Nothing since then has not changed, he said. Someone familiar with it, know what his family and this is followed by a steady stream of questions. He tries to take it patiently, but after more than 20 years of his life in the shadow of the brand DeLorean, you can imagine his despair.

14.



James. Guide to local bars, but, more importantly, he is - vice president of the company. And so the same person that you're likely to see in the TV reports or YouTube video about DeLoriane. James is working here for 10 years, and before that he was one of the fans of the car and the owner of two of its own DMC-12.

15.



Warren works for DeLorean for 18 years and headed the department of spare parts and service. If you own a car and you need any item, you will be more likely to talk on the phone with it.

16.



Justin - mechanic. He's been here for 4 years.

17.



Finally, Bill. He's been here for 14 years and he helped Cameron with his lessons when he was still in elementary school. In short, what we want to say here is that DeLorean now - almost a family company, grown through trial and error and years of hard work, in the best tradition of American entrepreneurship. If at the beginning of the story you were already familiar with DeLorianom, now you're probably treat it very differently. At least we hope so.

This is our journey ends. The joint project DeLorean X The Hundreds are already on sale. And for dessert, another product of our cooperation black DMC-12, decorated with a pattern brand The Hundreds:
