Big lots is a Sol Shenk enterprise.  Sol Shenk was the guy who bought 
the entire inventory of the DeLorean Motor Company when it folded.  
I'm sure he had more cars than he knew what to do with at that time, 
so plating one up must have seemed a fun thing.  I admire that guy.  
He started out with very little, and made a fortune by buying low, 
selling medium, paying cash and being fiscally shrewd.
I suppose he probably has the distinction of having had the largest 
private collection of DeLoreans at any one time.  

I'm no expert.  I just read about him in Stainless Steel Illusion, 
and on the internet.
