DeLorean

“Even if you think you know the DeLorean story, this book makes a good argument for revisiting the saga. It is both reasonably priced and worthy of your attention.”

”…author Matt Stone provides a highly readable overview of that rise, fall and — to a certain extent — resurrection in DELOREAN: THE RISE, FALL AND SECOND ACTS OF THE DELOREAN MOTOR COMPANY. The DeLorean story, both personal and professional, is worth reading or, some 40 years after his company went under, retelling.”

“If you’ve ever wondered what the real story was behind the DMC-12 and its famous, infamous, and late, inventor, a new book gives insight you might find quite fascinating. In all, it’s a very interesting book…you may find you learn quite a bit about DeLorean the man and Delorean the company that you didn’t know before.”

“Stone has done the unthinkable with DeLorean: The Rise, Fall and Second Acts of the DeLorean Motor Company,  he has me searching want ads for a clean DeLorean DMC-12. For anyone wanting to thoroughly explore an icon of automotive history from it’s ethos, this is it. And while DeLorean may be a cultural punch-line for drugs and failure to some, this book puts to rest that to that misnomer. A far more realistic portrait of a dedicated, driven and troubled man and company is presented. It makes JZD more relatable and the reader sympathetic to the circumstances surrounding the rise and fall.”
