Another Hollywood vehicle making its return is the 1981 DeLorean. The “Time Machine” from the “Back to the Future” trilogy of movies. Moreover, producers originally chose the DMC-12 as the foundation for the famous time-traveling DeLorean. It is due to its stainless-steel construction and gullwing doors. Multiple versions of the DeLorean “Time Machine” further made throughout the years for the two sequels. But this is the only example appearing in all three films.

“Some vehicles used in television and movies have become just as popular as the stars themselves.”

“We are excited to display what are genuinely some of the most iconic vehicles from Hollywood’s long and storied history of film and television series production. The unique collection is sure to appeal to fans of movies and television along with any automotive enthusiasts.”
