When you think of the 1980s, two icons probably come to mind: The Tonight Show’s Johnny Carson and DeLoreans. Well, here’s a DeLorean once owned by the iconic talk show host.

Infamously, this early-production DeLorean once trapped Carson, resulting in him making many jokes at the expense of his car’s electrical system.

While celebrities such as Sammy Davis Jr., Kenny Rogers and Patrick Swayze owned DeLoreans, Carson was more than just an owner of a DeLorean car. He was actually a significant investor of the company.
