When I go to car shows and talk to people who only know about the Delorean in general terms, the majority of them conflate DMC with DMCH. DMCH, whether they admit it or not, present themselves as the successor to DMC and unless you look closely it works. For all practical purposes it works, not legally but for the most part, that doesn't matter. In fact, most don't even know DMCH by name, they know it as the continuation of DMC or "that company in Texas". That documentary on the History channel really cemented that perception in the minds of the general public whether it was intended to do that or not. The general public also knows that DMC (or DMCH) is coming out with a new Delorean. They don't know the details but they hear it on the news. DMCH has been doing a great job generating publicity and keeping the Delorean brand in the public eye at a minimal cost.
