[DML] DMC & DMCL

[Ann & Ed Thompson <RappaRivaRat@xxxx>]

When JZD abruptly called off plans for the production facility to be built 
in Puerto Rico and relocated to Belfast, Ireland, a new subsidiary to New York's
"DeLorean Motor Company" was created. It was called "DeLorean Motor Cars, Limited"
or "DMCL". The words "DeLorean Motor Cars, Ltd." appeared on the operations
building in Belfast and "DMCL" showed up in some of the original literature and
correspondence. 

As I understand it, JZD originally organized under the name of "John Z. DeLorean
Corporation". There were others, CTC (Composite Technology Corporation), DSCP
(DeLorean Sports Car Partnership, DRLP (DeLorean Research Limited Partnership)
also known as OPCO (Oppenhimer and Company), and the little known Swiss company,
GPD (General Products Development).
