The DeLorean still bringing movie magic to life
Briefly

Despite being produced between 1981 and 1983, the DeLorean remains popular due in large part to its role in the 'Back to the Future' movies. With about 6,000 still on the roads today, three specialized shops in the U.S. continue to operate, including the DeLorean Motor Company in Humble. They specialize in restoring, servicing, and selling parts for these unique vehicles. The company boasts a vast inventory of parts and even sells DeLorean-themed merchandise. The DeLorean's design continues to captivate fans and collectors alike.
I think a lot of why they're still so popular has to do with Back to the Future. Somewhere, one of the three movies is on TV, and someone is seeing it for the first time.
There are about 3,000 parts that make up a DeLorean; we have about 98% of them here in this building.
We've got 180,000 people who follow us online; even if everyone wanted a car, we couldn't do it, but everyone can have a Hot Wheel.
Back to the Future came out in 1985, the DeLorean still looked futuristic like a spaceship. Just as much as Christopher Lloyd and Michael J. Fox, the DeLorean was a star in the movies.
