Back to the Future | OUTATIME | Metal Stamped License Plate

Product Information

This DeLorean is created at the end of Back to the Future Part II; when the original time machine was struck by lightning: while the DeLorean itself is sent to 1885, a fully functional duplicate appears (apparently unmanned and undamaged) in 2025, where Doc retrieves it with the Time Train before Griff Tannen could. Zemeckis suggested the DeLorean because it offered mobility, a unique design, and would appear like an alien UFO to a 1950s family [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] due to its characteristic gullwing doors (which were inspired by the Mercedes-Benz 300 SL). After acquiring the DeLorean and modifying it into a time machine, Doc brings it to the Twin Pines Mall and tests it out by using a remote control to send it one minute into the future with his dog Einstein in it.

In the first film, the car has starter problems and has a hard time restarting once stopped, much to Marty's repeated frustration.

The time machine went through several variations during production of the first film, Back to the Future. I couldn’t find any pictures of the back of it to see if it even has a license plate on it at this point. Marty's truck had a front license plate when he opened the garage door on Saturday morning, October 26, but he apparently removed the front plate before he drove the truck the next morning. The time circuits appear as rotating dials that are identical to the DeLorean's time circuits, though are not clearly seen in the film.

Fusion can provide enough power to the flux capacitor and the time circuits, but is not used to power up the DeLorean itself, which makes use of an ordinary gasoline combustion engine to reach the 88mph speed necessary for it to time travel. After a falling out between the duo, Citizen Brown leaves in the alternate Clone DeLorean and picks up Edna Strickland, one of the game's main villains, having decided to have her help change his younger self's career after learning of Edna's unhappy future. However, during the movie's filming, it went over budget and behind schedule, and Universal refused to grant the producers more money, as it couldn't afford the desert location to shoot such scenario.As the time machine nears 88mph, light coming from the flux capacitor begins pulsing more rapidly until it becomes a steady stream. The display was divided into three sections: destination time (shown in red), present time (shown in green), and last time departed (shown in yellow), all annotated with Dymo labels. The Clone DeLorean appears outside of Doc's house after Marty recovers Doc's notebook from Biff Tannen. The DeLorean becomes stuck on the tracks, and Marty barely manages to escape before the DeLorean is completely destroyed by a freight train. In the destination time, immediately before the car's arrival, three large and loud flashes occur at the point from which the car emerges from its time travel.
