Kat DeLorean’s father, John created the iconic DeLorean sports car, best known as the time machine from ‘Back to the Future.’ Her Mom, model Christine Ferrare wanted her to get into modeling but she quit to give her child what she never had—a chance to grow up not famous. Decades later, years after taking her husband’s last name, Kat asked her daughter’s permission to once again appear in public as a DeLorean. Her daughter said yes.
