Description:
Since the sixties when he was known as the brillian but brash young
executive at General Motors, John Zachary Delroean has been one of the most
controversial public figures in the United States, and of recent years, the
world. His 6'4" Lincolnesque figure and his striking appearance have made
him one of the most photographed and recognizable celebrities outside of
Hollywood. He has only to set foot outside his front door to make headlines.
Admirers see DeLorean as the man who stood alone against the corporate
rulers on the Fourteenth Floor during his tumultuous days at GM, the man who
against all odds, built his own auto factory in Northern Ireland. Detractors
have dubbed DeLorean a playboy, and auto baron, a man of masks, a "Gatsby,"
an American Villain--the designations seem endless.
Despite all this expose, the public figure has proved to be a very private
man. And whether they praise or condemn, people all ultimate ask the same
question: Who is the real John DeLorean?
The furor surrounding his decision to build his own sports car paled
in October 1982 when headlines rocked the world and topped every other outrageous
statement ever made about the man: John Z. DeLorean, captain of a sinking
ship, had been arrested and accused of trafficking in cocaine!
DeLorean was silent during his arrest and subsequent trial. Since his
acquittal on all charges and the breakup of his marriage to Cristina Ferrare,
he has said little, beyond a few interviews about his conversion to Christianity
and some of his immediate views on the government case.
Now, for the first time, John Z. Delorean speaks out about the man behind
the headlines. Many have attempted to tell his story; now it is his turn.
