(August 20, 2007)--In a nondescript warehouse in Houston northern suburbs, mechanic and entrepreneur Stephen Wynne is bringing a rare sports car back to life.

If he succeeds, he almost certainly has Michael J. Fox to thank.

A quarter century ago, DeLorean Motor Company began making its glitzy, $25,000 two-seater.

That operation collapsed after two years.

But Wynne's small automotive outfit plans to bring the vehicle back into limited production at a 40,000-square-foot factory in the Houston suburb of Humble.

The creation of renowned automotive engineer John DeLorean was distinguished by its gull-winged doors, stainless-steel exterior and rear-engine design.

DeLorean Motor eventually made fewer than 9,000 cars.

About 6,500 remain on the road.

Despite DMC's flop, the car has persevered, gaining notoriety largely as the time machine Fox drove in the blockbuster 1985 movie, "Back to the Future" and its two sequels.

The trilogy's enduring popularity on cable TV has exposed countless viewers to a souped-up version of the DeLorean.
