In a blast from the past and a shout out to movie buffs everywhere, the widow of John DeLorean is in litigation against a company from Texas associated with her husband’s legendary car famously featured in the Back to the Future films. According to Sally DeLorean, DeLorean Motor Company in Texas has exploited the car’s trademark and image of its builder, her husband. He began his career working for General Motors in the 1960s and 1970s and eventually became so popular as a carmaker that he starred in a whiskey ad in Playboy magazine in 1981. His iconic car model only had 9,000 finished copies but was such a craze that it landed a role in pop culture history in film.
