Owning a DeLorean DMC-12 Changed This Man's Life

A veritable automotive icon of the ’80s, the DeLorean DMC-12 was immortalized in the Back to the Future franchise, and rightfully so for its design language that was both so evocative of its era whilst looking forward to the future for its brushed stainless steel body, industrial lines, low profile and distinctive gullwing doors. However, most of the appeal of the vehicle for lifelong DeLorean fan and automotive design student Geoff Ombao is the short-lived and turbulent history of the carmaker, which only underlines the unorthodox story of how the DMC-12 came to be. Watch the video above for Ombao’s personal take on his passion for the car, and head to Petrolicious for more of the same.
