Jack Delorean's 1932 Ford roadster
I follow videos from the Irontrap Garage channel on Youtube - it's a young guy who's heavily into traditional hot rods. His latest score is unearthing a 1932 Ford roadster from a dilapidated tire repair shop in Detroit. It's not a Pontiac, but the seller says it had been previously owned by George Delorean. Pretty cool find. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LSsi-s1Ebvk&t=2s

There's an update video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_hvzdi3t_w It turns out the '32 roadster had actually been owned by Jack Delorean, not George. Matt at Irontrap was able to get hold of Jack and had a pretty cool phone conversation with him. When Jack bought it in California in about 1954, John helped him get the car shipped back to Detroit. Then, George built him a full house flathead engine and he took it racing it on Woodward Ave.
