One of the most significant boosts to the DeLorean’s fame came from its starring role in the “Back to the Future” film trilogy. The time-traveling adventures of Marty McFly and Doc Brown showcased the DeLorean’s gull-wing doors and futuristic design, cementing its status as an icon of the 1980s. The cinematic portrayal turned the DeLorean into a cultural phenomenon, propelling it into the realm of legendary cars.

I owned a 1981 Delorean for many years at the early height of its popularity. Enjoyed it’s popularity and notority but ultimately sold it due to it’s frequent mechanical problems and breakdowns on the road. Did have my share of fun with it while I owned it nevertheless. Even went to the auction at the Orange County plant and purchased all of the last “fix-it notes” from the special problem garage where the cars from the dealerships came in to be repaired. Even git a set of tiny authentic “hub caps” as a small memory if the car as well as a complete garage manual from the shop there.
