yes, and it could fly!

thanks for the compliment! Curious to see how your version of the Luxor Cab will look!

The back to the future films contain many easter eggs and references to existing things. The yellow color scheme with the red roof and checker patterns can also be seen on Citroen DS taxis in Amsterdam in the 50ies..

Thanks for the comment! Great to read that you finally have a DS. Hope you enjoy this iconic car. If you want to see more of my miniature version of the flying DS feel free to visit: instagram.com/props_of_the_future/ or cabtothefuture.weebly.com/

I got a 72 ds as well. I bought it because I read about it in a 1955 popular mechanics magazine

Indeed, the suspension of a DS has a particular design and is very 'soft' on bumps in the road. As a child in the 80ies I used to drive along in my grandfathers DS. He described it as 'floating like a boat'. Personally I find the design of a DS unique, while it is an oldtimer it still looks futuristic to me. It blends into the Back to the Future 2 'futuristic Hill Valley' . Thanks for leaving a comment!

thanks! Curious to see how you model will look! In my model only the longitude of the globe can be adjusted with the rotating switch below. The other switch below the globe is to adjust the led patterns on the right of the panel. The axis on the poles are indeed close to the window. You will have to find a way to work around that. If you like some fotos of my globe mechanism as inspiration. Feel free to drop me a line on: cabtothefuture.weebly.com/

The folding of the rear wheels in the take off scene is particular. The steps of this 'animation' can be seen in the book: 'Back To The Future: The Ultimate Visual History' these sketches can also be seen in the documentary.

I have placed a list on my website which contains all the cars I could identify on the 2015 Hill Valley square. Feel free to have a look at it.. maybe you can spot 2015 cars in the film I did not see ;-) cabtothefuture.weebly.com/2015-props.html (at the bottom of the page is the link)

" The oldster [Biff Tannen] pointed a quivering finger at a sleek silver car that was just taking off overhead. / "Follow that DeLorean!" he croaked. / Follow that DeLorean? That was the sort of thing people said in old, 2-D movies! Where was this old guy coming from? / Still, a fare was a fare. Fred eased the cab out and up. "

Hope you bagged up

thnks!

Indeed, in the scene where the old Biff pays for the taxi you can hear the parrot (called Priscilla) say some words as they drive away. I could not understand what the parrot was saying after 'hello'. In the the Back to the future 2 novelization (written by Craig Shaw Gardner) Priscilla corrects the driver when he figures Biff's fare. Maybe her babbling had something to do with that? Would be nice to know more about this.. backtothefuture.fandom.com/wiki/Priscilla

I read somewhere that the wrecked DS seen in the alternate 1985 of BTTF2 was the same car that was used to build to Luxor CAB. Not sure if this is correct, that wrecked DS really looks beyond repair..

@@sva3897 It doesn't look to be the same car as the taxi. The taxi is a 1972 or later and the wrecked car looks much earlier judging by the door handles and wheels.

indeed! the wrecked DS looks like an older model of the car, other door handles, wheels and round headlights..

There is another one when they are driving through the air traffic and one comes from the opposite direction and nearly miss them.

Indeed I was going trough the same steps as you did on 1/43 :-)

@@sva3897 i love your work, I can't wait to see the other steps 😍
