The DeLorean Investment
Engineer John DeLorean created the car with his name that is best known for its appearance in the Back to the Future film series. Johnny Carson was one of the head investors of the vehicle. After DeLorean was arrested in 1982, his business, along with Carson’s investment, went down the drain.
His Other Ventures
In addition to his entertainment and business investments, Carson also dabbed in a few other business ventures. One of these includes the rather successful Johnny Carson Apparel, Inc. line of clothes, with the turtlenecks being especially popular. However, when he tried to branch out to opening a restaurant franchise, he was not as successful.
