GM vice president edit
DeLorean became a General Motors vice president when he was named General Manager of Pontiac in 1965. The 1972-73 position was a higher level VP title. Crassus731 (talk) 02:29, 23 December 2022 (UTC)
Origin of Mother edit
"DeLorean's mother was a Hungarian citizen of Hungarian origin." Pribak, the mother's name is without a doubt a Serbian surname and there were Serbians living in Austria-Hungary at the time. Only one of the sources (the Hungarian one) actually mentions her origin to be Hungarian, but this could also just refer to her citizenship and not to her ethnicity. -Anonym142857 (talk) 19:51, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
Note edit
This article implies that Chapman commited suicide. The article on Chapman says he died a natural death from disease. 2A00:23C4:7C8D:9C01:FC8D:F30D:4AAC:336C (talk) 10:36, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
- The account of events given in this article is unsourced, and seems not to accord with what is said in the Chapman biography - this clearly needs looking into further. For now though, I'll alter the wording to at least remove implications of an unnatural death. AndyTheGrump (talk) 10:42, 9 May 2023 (UTC)
Sheila and Sally Baldwin are not his relatives edit
Our team will be submitting legal evidence, lawsuits show Sally was NOT married to John, depositions from John and a professional nursing license in the name of Baldwin until 2010 along with a lack of any marriage certificate shows a lack of marriage to Sally Baldwin. All references to her being his wife were after his death or when he was hospitalized (dog lawsuit) it has been established that Sally is not his wife. Sheila was never acknowledged as his daughter while he was alive. Original obituaries show her as Sheila Baldwin delorean because her name had not yet been changed.
If she was born to John DeLorean the newspapers would have found out a 78 year old famous person had their first child in decades and published something prior to his death. There is no record of either being delorean prior to his death. Wired fact checked and had legal documentation otherwise faced defamation charges no penalties exist for the obituaries you cite.
this false narrative is harmful to the real family of John DeLorean and their fight for their legacy. 75.100.94.156 (talk) 20:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
