Does anyone but me remember when this was all over the news?
Am I the only one who thinks of this whenever I hear about the new auto plant?
ISTR it was going to be built out near the airport and Chenault Park.
*sigh* Too bad DeLorean had to go & get hisself in trouble with the law and killed.

I looked up some old articles out of AUTOMOTIVE NEWS from mid-1987. John DeLorean was involved with a company called The Louisiana Motor Company Inc. Initially he was said to be a consultant involved in nogotiating with Govenor Edwin Edwards and officials from the city of Monroe about building an assembly plant there. By late June of '87 the German publication DIE WELT was saying that John was planning a venture in West Germany to produce the Isdera in Louisiana. None of it ever amounted to anything but the one Isdera built was pretty nice to look at. It was to sell for about $140,000 with an annual production of 75 to 100 cars.
