Maybe that is the way to go. One company makes
engines and transmissions, and another company makes
the coach(shell). this is the way the US auto market
started in the 20s and 30s. A car company would make
the engine and chassis, while hiring an Italian
designer to design the coach. Duesenberg style...

How was he destroyed? Why did Tucker (another
delorean type) fail?
