INSPIRATION
Simply put, John Z. DeLorean had vision, humility, and guts.
CHALLENGE
Given many people in John’s life have passed and that Matt would have loved to talk with, not to mention John DeLorean himself, this fact made writing the real story that much more challenging.
SPECIAL AUTOMOBILE
The DeLorean of course.
