<< They could have chosen the Edsel as the subject for the
show, but decided that the DeLorean was a bigger blunder. Perhaps the reason
for this choice was that they planned to blame the British government for the
DeLorean blunder, making it more worthy of a documentary. >>
If there was someone to blame for a "Blunder" it was the man himself (JZD)not
the British Goverment,ok maybe a little blame on the British Government for
not keeping closer tabs on how the money was spent,but JZD was a General
Motors man,and the only thing he knew real good was about making high volume
cars,he was trying to run DMC as if it was one of the divisions of General
Motors,in other words some
body else pays all the bills(British Gov.),no matter what the cost,hence the
oversize factory,the Park Ave offices(New York)the overruns in expenses, the
over production
of cars ect.By the time he realized his "Blunders" it was to late,the British
Goverment
stopped the supply of cash,unless he could match the next Twenty million the
British Goverment was willing to give him,then we all know what happen in
L.A. after that.
