Thanks. > > Rich > > I know as fact that when DMC went belly-up Consolidated International of Columbus Ohio,took over,as they had the option of keeping the plant running,in fact they finished all the cars that were on the assembly line and got ALL remaining Deloreans including all parts,and Rights to THE Delorean and it's namesake,so as far as I can tell Consolidated International STILL has all rights to the Delorean,Logos,likeness ect,as John Z. Delorean,lost all rights to THE ORIGNAL logos,in the Bankruptcy,there might still be the British Government,that might still have legal Rights to the Delorean logos/likeness(but the chances are they will never pursue any rights) I DO NOT think that ANY rights were transferred to DMC of Texas (James??)They bought out the contents of the warehouse of Delorean Stuff(crates),Much in the same fashion as someone bought out the remaining Bricklin parts that Consolidated acquired,WHEN they had THE option of keeping the Bricklin factory going.FYI,They also finished off the remaining Bricklins on that assembly line,(they also acquired all or most of the remaining Bricklins)and they might also have the legal rights to the Bricklin Logo/trademark (Consolidated).Best Bet is to call up Consolidated and find out.
