excuse my ignorance, but if i may request some clarification...
is this describing representatives for a DeLorean Factory in Nebraska, or is it DeLorean Factory (i.e., Dunmurry) representatives who were originally from Nebraska?
just curious, i am interested in anything that may associate my state to the DeLorean. :smile:
.
Jack C Rakes & W. W. Bivens were Delorean Motor Company factory reps. for the State of Nebraska. What I'm looking for is what other positions they had within Delorean Motor Company (or other companies)
*** I know Jack Rakes was Director, Western Area Field Operations, according to the Delorean Museum.

When you say "factory reps", are you meaning "sales reps" or something different. If not "sales", what did they represent the factory in?
Again, like dvonk, just curious.
They were Factory Representative, I believe they were assigned by Delorean Motor Company to represent DMC in that State.
My guess is that they would be in charge of dealerships.

I have seen James Fearer's name on a number of documents while viewing documents in the DCS Museum in the past.
I will try to see if I recorded his title somewhere and the dates from some of the documents (many were pre-1981).
Jack Rakes is one of the guys who hired some of the first POGs who worked at DMC and the QACs, and I am sure he
had a different title when he was doing this hiring back in late 1980. I will try to find out his earlier title(s).
Bill Bivens is also mentioned by the POGs quite a bit, so I will try to find out his earlier title(s) as well, next weekend.
There will be several POGs at the Woodward Dream Cruise next weekend, so I may have answers to post by Aug. 20.
Later,
Rich W.
BTW: The DeLorean POGs will have their own website one day too ... but no completion estimate yet.

Thank you!
Hope you find some more info, I would like to have this info. within the next two weeks or so.
