New DMC VIP Guest - Author of Stainless Steel Illusion, John Lamm
The DCS Planning Team is very happy to announce that John Lamm will
be joining us at DCS 2018. John is still finalizing his busy schedule for
August (he says he is very happily busy), but John promises to make it
to DCS 2018 in time for "Author's Day" on Friday, August 17 and for the
DeLorean Car Show on Saturday, for Book Signings in the Mega Center.
As most DeLorean owners, fans and enthusiasts know, John Lamm is the
author of Stainless Steel Illusion, and although it is still very difficult to
find a First Edition of SSI, the DeLorean Community was lucky enough
to get the Second Edition of SSI about 15 years ago (in 2003) so many
of us could complete our collections of some early DMC publications.
Even with First and Second Editions of SSI available, there are quite
a few stories that John was not able to include in either edition, and
DCS will be your best opportunity to hear many of these stories. We
have scheduled John for at least one break-out session on Friday, and
as one of our Friday Keynote Speakers after the Friday evening dinner.
