[DML] Re: Car Show/John's Memory

["byrondelorean" <celiambyron@xxxxxxx>]

Nice story, I have a feeling there is a renewed interest in the 
Delorean automobile and the man.   "Whatever success I have had in 
this business has always been based on the integrity of the product 
itself, and in the belief that the customer is an outstanding judge 
of value," John Delorean  told  New York Times in 1981 "you might 
fool some of the people some of the time, but in the aggregate, the 
worlds car buyers will search out and find the products that 
represent the best value". 
What comes around goes around, this time in a positive way.
