Interesting to see that a Texas based company is reviving the once super-cool DeLorean.

Mechanic and businessman Stephen Wynne has begun brining the classic car back in limited production in a warehouse facility outside of Houston.

The creation of renowned automotive engineer John DeLorean, DMC eventually made fewer than 9,000 cars, distinctive for their gull-wing doors, stainless-steel exterior and rear-engine design. An estimated 6,500 remain on the road.

Wynne has experience working with DeLoreans and that fueled his interest in brining it back.

Wynne formed the company in 1995, when the bulk of his business was working on original DeLoreans at a Houston garage. Still, he needed a name, and because there was nothing legally preventing him from using the original, he decided to give it a shot. He even called John DeLorean, who wished him luck.
