"Calvin":
correct spelling of this name (both for the company and the man).
The car was produced in Northern Ireland and when I was there in
June I photographed three signs about the car and the company at
the Ulster Transport Museum. Two of them spelled the name De Lorean
consistently; the other one used DeLorean 3 out of 5 times. One of
the signs reproduced some newspaper headlines, which consistently
spelled it as two words. However, it also reproduced a movie poster
-- or a mockup of a movie poster (the movie itself doesn't seem to
exist) where the name is spelled DeLorean 3 out of 4 times.
When I got home I did some web searching, and checked a couple of
reference books, and found support for both spellings. The sources
that seem most authoritative, and also Wikipedia, are consistent in
using DeLorean; but other sources often use De Lorean, and I even
found a book about the man and the company where that spelling is
used consistently.
I've even found some material where the name seems to be spelled
with a *half space* after the De.
It is a puzzlement.
