[DML] Re: With JD passing?

["Louie" <louie@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Actually this exact question was running through my mind earlier 
today. Of course there are other automakers who were big names and 
were associated with their cars (Porsche, Ferrari, Ford just to name 
a few), but other than Shelby and DeLorean I can't think of any 
automaker/engineer whose personalities and lives made them just as 
famous and beloved by the public as their automobiles did. Perhaps 
it's because Shelby and DeLorean produced cars which were so much 
more personal than other manufacturers. Or perhaps it's because they 
were products of the information age versus automakers who came 
before them. I think it's the combination of their pioneering 
automobiles, larger than life personalities and lives, and pure 
being in the right business at the right time in history can account 
for their legacies.
