Yep I started the original one as well. Hoping this time someone else who remembers this will chime in.

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.

It's actually a pretty interesting car design. The fact that it was supposedly going to be built in Monroe would have brought its reliability/classiness down some.
Scruffy would have bought one though.

Only one thing can salvage this thread:

How are they going to find skilled workers in that shithole to build a car like that? I'm guessing people would have to move there? Wtf wants to move there?
Monroe is like a flat West Virginia.

Serious question: weren't they going to build a new car called a V or something like that in Monroe?
Whatever happened to that?
