The History

The History Of “Delorean - The Missing Pieces” Documentary Series

By Bob Brandys – Producer

Dear reader and viewer, a number of factors came together to motivate me to produce this video documentary
series, feel free to explore each topic below:

An Interest in Automotive Innovation:

I have always had an interest in history and the people who make it happen. Being part of the ‘60s generation, automotive history was one of my specialties. And being a Safety Professional by trade, I could identify with the numerous safety features that John Delorean was seeking to make standard equipment in cars…

An Interest in Film Making:

I always viewed documentary film making as an important avenue of information transfer to both my generation and the younger generation. I feel Documentaries are an excellent way to reach a larger segment of the population than books these days…

Serendipity:

Serendipity has always seemed to play a role in my decision to produce this extensive documentary series about John DeLorean. I somehow have been able to meet and get to know many of the players in the Delorean story and it had become a story of great personal interest to me…

Not The True Stories:​

I came to appreciate many of the innovations Delorean was passionate about and shared those interests. However I also quickly came to realize that a lot of the narratives out there about DeLorean were either woefully misleading or outright lies, and I felt I needed to correct these mistakes in the public consciousness… 

Fellow Researchers:​

This project would not be as thorough of a treatise on John Delorean without the assistance of fellow researchers and Delorean enthusiasts. Alexx Michael, Robert Lamrock, Chris Nicholson, Fred Dellis and Byron Block have provided invaluable assistance in bringing John DeLorean’s true story to light…

The Final Chapter:​

The last episode of this documentary will be hopefully produced in 2067. This is when the still classified DMC documents in the British and Irish national archives should be declassified…
