Who influenced john delorean to design the first Pontiac gto?
John DeLorean wasn't involved in the design of the first Pontiac GTO. He's associated with the GTO's success, but the original 1964 GTO was the brainchild of Pontiac's chief engineer, Bill Collins, and others within the Pontiac division who saw a market opportunity for a high-performance intermediate car. DeLorean's influence came *later* as he rose through Pontiac's ranks and helped to capitalize on the GTO's unexpected popularity.
