John Delorean, Lee Iococca. Two titans of the automotive industry. What did they do for the car world as we know it? Did you know there’s a connection between them? A bit of a stretch, but it’s interesting non the less.
If you haven’t noticed yet, this podcast is about nostalgia. You know, reliving the events, sights, smells and emotions of special memories connect to our first rides.
Said another way…it’s about allowing our memories to travel back in time and experiencing special moments all over again.
During the past week, I watched a show that highlighted the history and impact of the automotive industry on our American culture. It was entertaining and I learned a lot about some of the innovators that influenced the designs of what we drive today.
Two men stood out as the most interesting. I guess it was because they impacted the cars I grew up with in my teens.
Who were they? John DeLorean and Lee Ioccoa. Both were leaders in the auto industry but with totally different styles.
Because there is so much to talk about with both men, this is going require two episodes to tell their stories.
Today, I’m going to talk about John Delorean, some of his accomplishments and a connection to a few celebrities.
Next week, I’ll talk about Lee Ioccoa, his accomplishments and the connection he had to John Delorean.
So, let’s get right into it now as I talk about John Delorean and his colorful story.
