      Pontiac GTO; Not exactly the car of the future. DeLorean sure shot himself in the foot with the attempt to deal coke. I felt bad for the Factory workers in Ireland. Dreams crushed.

      “On August 10, 1960, an honorably discharged 66-year-old World War I veteran, George Vincent Nash, was removed from resting alongside his Caucasian wife at the White Chapel Cemetery.[5][6]
      The action took place immediately following the graveside service because Nash was a full-blooded Ho-Chunk (also known as Winnebago) or Native American.[7] The explanation was that 40,000 plot owners "had paid for the restriction" for the type of people that could be buried at White Chapel Cemetery.[8] According to the cemetery's officials, corpses had to be at least 75% Caucasian to be buried at White Chapel.[9] The governor, G. Mennen Williams, was concerned about the legality of the cemetery's actions.[10] However, the Michigan state legislatures in both 1961 and 1962, failed to pass bills that would have prohibited cemeteries to discriminate who could be interred in them on the basis of race.” This pulled right from the wiki page so if you want sources just go on their Wikipedia. I’m pretty sure this rule there is in effect? Another site said they have a plot for poc but it’s a less desirable area and it’s more expensive.
