DeLorean Motor Company (Alternity)



The DeLorean Motor Company (NYSE: DMC), more often simply DeLorean is an American multinational automotive manufacturing company based in Detroit, South Michigan. Founded by highly successful engineer John DeLorean (designer of the Pontiac GTO and Firebird and the Chevrolet Vega as well as later models of the Nova) in October 1975, the company is well-known for its popular sports and racing cars, and probably best for the "C" series sports coupe (C-2) featured in the 1985 film Back to the Future and its subsequent sequels. From 1983 to 1987, the company expanded its inventory to sedans, pickup trucks, minivans, and SUVs, all with the signature stainless steel exterior patented with the "C" series, another company staple. Starting in 1991, DeLorean began selling all-electric models of every major production vehicle, starting with the C-4, labeled the C-4/E.

Automobiles
The most notable features of DeLoreans include their stainless steel exterior body paneling, gull-wing doors, rear engine and forward trunk. Pre-1988 models had fixed windows, but since 1989, have included power windows as a standard feature that can only be opened when the doors are closed, regardless of if the engine is on or not.
