About this Event

Historical Speaker Series | Packard Proving Grounds

Few cars have captured the imagination quite like the DeLorean. Bold, futuristic, and instantly recognizable, the DMC-12 was born from one man’s radical vision—and quickly became a cautionary tale.


Join automotive historian Chris Duvall for an engaging look at John DeLorean’s rise, the ambition behind his iconic car, the challenges of manufacturing abroad, and the factors that led to the company’s dramatic fall. The program also explores how the DeLorean legacy lives on through a community of enthusiasts today.
