LMC is an interesting topic. Since it's post trial, no much has been 
written about it. So here is the condensed, "in-a-nutshell" rundown.

Both DMC (DeLorean Motor Company), and LMC (Logan Manufacturing 
Company) are seperate companies, with no relation whatsoever, except 
for the fact that they're owned by John Z. De Lorean. I've gotten 
seperate reports, but I do believe that the company was acquired 
around the same time that DMC had it's beginings in the late 70's.

I'm not into industrial snow grooming equipment, so I don't know all 
of the specifics on the tractors. But from what I've read, the LMC 
groomers were quite popular in their time due to their ease of 
maintenance, and use of common, interchangable parts. Unfortunetly, 
the company ultimately went under, as a casualty of JZD's financial 
woes from his own laywers (and lack of proper reinvestment to make it 
salable).
