DeLorean was an American company, the DMC-12 was built in Northern Ireland.

I miss Hupmobile, Packard, Willys...
But whats with the DeLorean? It was a UK company - the only American link being the owner. And Olds? WHen did they shut then?

1. The Nash Metropoliton was a British attempt to get the US market on board.
2. Love the Hudson!!!! In top 5 all time fave cars that one!
3. I think the truck got bought by Mack, (cos several of them did in the 60's and 70's)

GM killed Oldsmobile in 2004.
Plymouth was killed by Chrysler in 2001.
those are the two big ones prior to the recent cuts.
Those who fell before include
Imperial, DeSoto, Essex, AMC (Rambler, Hudson, Nash) Fraizer, Kaiser, Willys, Overland, Studebaker, Packard, Checker, Crosley, Graham (with or without Paige), Cord, Aubern, Dusenburg, LaSalle, Edsel, Excalibur, Geo, Meteor, Monarch (both technically Canadian I guess), Henry J, American Bantam, Hupmobile, Avanti, Stutz.
Are International still in business?
if you include the small brands like Playboy and Gaylord (and who wouldn't with those names) we'll be here all night.
I don't include Delorean - built in Ireland with British government money.
Marked for death - Pontiac, Saturn, Hummer and rumours abound about Mercury.
