But, the pricey cars and the new company would be short-lived because of questionable financial and legal decisions made to keep the company from going bankrupt. DeLorean could not get his design ideas approved in GM, so he created his own car company. The cars were the brainchild of John DeLorean, a former General Motors executive.

I will post this article on our Facebook page so you can sound off in the comments section. Take a look at the new DeLorean interpretation. Even still, the DeLorean drawing was awful. He was trying to show the profile, as well as the detail from the front and the back of the car. To be fair, he did say he was trying something he had never done before. In the end, even the best of us have a bad day. He is much better than this DeLorean sketch. But, this design was not reflective of the work he can do. Also, I will not claim to be anywhere near as skilled as he is at drawing. Foose has more design talent than most of us have on the tip of our pinky finger. But, for the first time in my memory, the end result was… sad. Foose took on the design concept with the same vigor he normally does.
So, it was a good choice for a modern interpretation. But the movie franchise has kept the car alive in the hearts and memories of auto enthusiasts worldwide.

I have followed Chip Foose for decades, but not in a stalker way.
