DMC

The original DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) was a short-lived automovil manufacture formed by  automobile industry executive John DeLorean in 1975. It is remembered for the one model it produced, the distinctive stainless steel DeLorean DMC-12 sports car featuring gull-wing doors ,and for its brief and turbulent history, ending in receivership and bankruptcy in 1982. Near the end, in a desperate attempt to raise the funds his company needed to survive, John DeLorean was filmed appearing to accept money to take part in drug trafficking, but was subsequently acquitted of charges brought against him on the basis of entrapment.

The DeLorean DMC-12 shot to worldwide fame in the Back to the Future movie trilogy as the car made into a time machine by eccentric scientist Doctor Emmett L. Brown, although the company had ceased to exist before the first movie was made.
