If I was driving the DeLorean, stopped at a gas station and got out, I'd ask the first person who came up to me: "Can you tell me what year this is?". ha ha
As long as Robert Zemeckis draws breath on this Earth, he won't allow a Back to the Future reboot. He owns the rights to the movie franchise. Thank God.
When I saw Back to the Future all I wanted was that lifted black 85’ Toyota Pickup that Marty got at the end. I pretty much knew a DeLorean was out of the question. 😂
I think more people wanted that truck than the DeLorean honestly. Everytime, and I mean Everytime I talk to someone who grew up with those movies, including me, the truck is what we end up talking about.
You know, there something that needs to be said about the atmosphere in this channel. Most channels have video production done to them to intros, medium to crazy transitions over to the next scenes and background music to go with showcasing a car. Jay Leno's is just straight classic in terms of the ambient in car showcases. Each showcase is quiet, peaceful while all the more it contributes to the vehicles history and background he is actually talking about. In other words I'm glad I found this channel.
I would love to see Jay Leno do an Episode of Christine. That is just one Sexy Beast. If it wasn't for Back to the Future and the 1989 Batman and Ghostbusters. I would not have the love for movies and cars like I do today. They really opened the door for imagination.
Those are my favorites as well. I love them. With an inclusion of Christine, Starsky and Hutchs Firebird, Max's Interceptor, Bueller's Ferrari, Blues Brothers Dodge Monaco, and the Truck from Duel has to be among my favorites. And I say I love Them because I dont see these vehicles as an Item. I see them as friends that made the world of movies, Television and Pop Culture an amazing trip. Especially The Delorean, General lee, Christine, Ecto-1, and K.I.T.T. they are all my friends. Including everyone ive mentioned in this list.
@@d.dankey1168 I agree. To me a car isn't an item. It is it's own person. Its equivalent to your significant other. And because of how 80's movies have been recieved a lot of these cars will live on. Top 3 80s cars for me are the Time Machine, '89 Batmobile , and Christine. Those cars are just sexy beasts.
Jay does an outstanding job of leading Bob Gale to say what Jay knows needs to be said, such as "did you consider anyone else for the role." This episode really utilizes Jay's talk-show talents. Really fascinating interview.
People don't realize the amount of work that goes into restoring a movie car, or something like a race car. These guys are really good at what they do, thanks Jay.
Old comment but it's all love. My friend has a BTTF Delorean (his is modeled after II) and it was all built out of love. He bought the Delorean and spent 4 years turning it into a time machine. He bought it piece by little tiny piece. All because he adores BTTF
You should watch Jays video on one of his duesenbergh cars (spelling) he only managed to get the engine and frame original then he manufactured the entire rest of the car using 3D printing and it came out amazing
Robert Zemeckis said as long as he is alive there will never be another BTF movie. Nor a reboot. And he will pass down the rights to his kids as well. He said the movie is done and will stay done.
That's the best thing a filmmaker could ever say, Zemeckis putting his foot down and remaining adamant in keeping _BTTF_ as a Trilogy, no more sequels, not even a remake or reboot. And passing the rights down to kids? Best choice ever.
There needs to be a foundation created that functions as a trust for the IP associated with the rights of movies. It can be a perpetual legal custodian and can distribute funds to trustees-- producer's kids, for example, or to promote film preservation. Maybe it could be associated with the Smithsonian.
Year's ago I was doing local delivery truck driving. One Monday morning the boss hands me a delivery that was supposed to be there on Friday. He told me that I had to get it there on time,,, I told him I would if I could but the Flux Capacitor in my truck was broken. He said that we need to get it fixed. The dispatcher was laughing his A$$ off.... The boss never got it...
Who would have thought, watching this back when it first appeared, that Terry would go on to provide us with the amazing nostalgia trip that was Picard Season 3...
And given the way it was setup for the movie I don't think a regular DeLorean would be all that great, I think I'd have to get one and have it modified to look like the one in the movie LOL.
No reboot please, love the first movie. It's a classic, no messing around with it. Rewatching this video brings back fond memories, got to watch that movies again later this week :D
The 3rd one was my favorite!!! Love the use of the train in that one. The railroad still has memorabilia from the shot and of course the locomotive still runs to this day highly recommend it
The 2nd one is my favorite because I consider it to be the "complete" time machine. Since it wasn't limited to the ground it could pretty much go anywhere or any"when".
Same. I know it has been 3 months since you wrote this, but if you still haven't watched them. You can stream them on cinemax's streaming service. You get a 7-day trial with an amazon prime membership.
An icon. How great that Jay, along with Bob, Terry and Joe present this car not just as a DeLorean, but also as a meticulously restored "prop" and a timeless "movie star"
Ah, the '80's! Last two Star Wars movies of the original trilogy, Knight Rider, Speed Racer, Ghostbusters... and of course Marty McFly & Back to the Future! And all the cool cars that were the real stars!
@what you make of it Yes definitely one of ny favorite shows as well. Colt Seavers wae the man. And the truck is like one of those iconic tv/movie cars to me. Really good shows back then.
DOH - definitely! The Fall Guy - Stuntman extraordinaire! I f'ing miss the 70-80s! Then H-town gotta go and F these good shows up with dumb-assed spoof flicks! Shame on them!
Terry Matalas is also responsible for writing and show-running for ST Picard S3. Aka the best series of Star Trek since the Berman era. He knows about restoration.
Didnt know Jay had this channel until I looked up the Corvette Z06 and ZR1. Honestly its crazy because I always imagined Jay having a show just like this due to his extensive car collection! This is great. Love the ones on Hollywood cars.
To this day I have never seen Jay's tonight show...however, each week I look forward to the message that pops up on my screen that there's a new episode of Jay Leno's Garage.
@Theo1 How is it off-topic? Luke and Leia's kiss in Star Wars is incest. Sure, it's just a kiss, but it's more than anything that happens in Back to the Future. And that kiss is pretty iconic, so it's not like Disney could say "oh, we didn't know about it!"
I love Jay. I grew up on Jay. Love him on the tonight show. Love his car speak. This is a true blue collar man. Worked very hard to get where hes at and still works and entertains and interviews lol.
When they talked about any colors of the DeLorean… Ace Frehley from KISS had one painted Red. Ace has indicated in past interviews (I believe with Eddie Trunk) that it was horrendously expensive because of what was required to paint stainless steel, and Ace indicated that as far as he knew, his was the only Red DeLorean at that time.
jvan and Huey was worried that his career would be in jeopardy if the movie bombed because he had a very unique Hueylike cameo. Fortunately it did very well
What a truly awesome episode of Jay Leno's garage, it was more of Jay interviewing the man and the movie than about the car for a while there and I was really really into it.
the way I heard the story of entrapment, was that a fed was reading a newspaper one day and there was a story about John D. the fed thought if I could get this guy, it would be a big promotion, a big boost to his career. So he set out posing as a drug guy that could help john get out of his financial problems. John D was told that they had his family under surveillance, and something could happen to them if he failed to cooperate .. In the end he agreed .. I think that was all explained on 60 minutes..
I remember seeing back to the future 20 times in 85. From the first time as a 10 year old boy I have always wanted a delorian. Definitely will always be my dream car. I don't care what anyone says about delorians. Slow, bad quality, ECT. I don't care, one day I will have one!
Get one. I'll tell you this man if you have the want and the love and passion you will get one. I have a friend who has a BTTF Delorean (it's a part 2 one so it has the Mr Fusion) and he is a teacher. He doesn't make a lot of money but he adores BTTF. He wanted the car so he bought a Delorean and over the course of a few years slowly turned it into a time machine. He bought piece by little piece and eventually got a full screen accurate replica.
I auditioned with Michael J. Fox for, what became his first tv work. A little show called "Leo and Me" produced by the CBC up here in Canada. You can find some footage of the show here on TH-cam. Later, I went to the same high school as Mike. A great guy all round.
6:12... somewhere on that Delorean is a microphone that is directly connected to that display near the door... you can see the levels bop up and down as he's talking to Jay...
@@easye5653 the execs that are in charge of budgeting could careless about a movie prop. In most cases I would agree, but not in this case. This movie struck a chord with a lot of people and became a classic and the car should be treated with the utmost care so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.
You’re half right. So the climax of the first BTTF draft had Marty going to a nuclear test site in Nevada, like at the beginning of Indy 4, because a nuclear explosion was the only thing that could power the time machine.
I saw the original at Paramount Carowins Park 1994 which was awesome!! But it sat outside so long that they had do a restoration before it went to the Peterson museum
Are you're sure you aren't talking about Universal studios in Florida? Cause I don't really recall the BTTF DeLoran being there at Carowinds and it's one of my favorite places to go to.
I think those of us who grew up in the 80s earned our love for cars through the movies. I vividly remember going to Universal Studios as a kid and being awestruck by picture cars that would be on display. At one point, the line to get on the Universal Tram Ride circled around Ecto 1, which I thought was the coolest thing. But you got to see the BTTF car, the A-Team van, KITT, and the Magnum PI Ferrari all up close! I know that, for me, it really had an impact on me.
I remember seeing a red one along with a yellow one and an unpainted one all together for sale at a used car dealer in Monterey many years ago. Always thought they were beautiful cars.
One of the best trilogies I've ever experienced in my younger years. I tortured my mother to bring me to Show Case Cinemas in Danvers Mass time and time again when i was 12 years old, and she delivered! Love you MOM!
This episode talked enough about movies to make me feel like I was watching the Tonight Show, a nice feeling since I haven't watched so much as 10 seconds of it since Jay left.
there are some iconic movie cars that just define a decade and are priceless today. In the 60's it was the bullitt mustang. the 70's had the trans am from smokey and the bandit. the 80's had this.
Peter Anderson, it is not a sound level meter, it is a functional RTA (Real Time Analyzer) unit. The led bars respond to a different sound frequency each. From low frequencies to high frecuencies (left to right in that order). Notice it when Jay turns on the engine, the far left led bar peaks red from the engine rumble (23:35). Pretty nice detail.
In the BTTF universe they call it the Christmas tree. What it is suppose to do is actually show the power output of the car. In the films it is usually just hovering around the green area and once the flux capacitor powers up it jumps to the red on all bars. guess its in a demo mode in this car as looks a lot cooler moving than just being at the bottom. Wish they did a segment at night with the flux band on. Did you know in the film those lights were actually white but the camera they used made them look blue
tell me doctor, where are we going this time is this the 50's, or 1999 all I wanted to do was play guitar and sing so take me away, I don't mind but you better promise me we'll be back in time
The power of love is a curious thing Make a one man weep, make another man sing Change a heart to a little white dove More than a feeling, that's the power of love Tougher than diamonds, whips like cream Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream Make a bad one good, mmm make a wrong right Power of love will keep you home at night
I drive a movie car as well (JP jeep) and it's crazy how many people will look straight through a Lamborghini or maclaren and oogle at your car instead. Can be annoying sometimes when people won't let you merge cus they are taking a photo but when you see a fellow movie car it's a blast.
No other car has to be guarded as closely at car shows and cruises. For some reason people will just walk up and sit in it. Met a guy who had made a bar that goes across the door jamb.
My dad almost got a DeLorean in the 80s when we lived out in Berkeley, California. He however knew we were going to be moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan the next year and being a native of Michigan he knew the DeLorean was probably not the best car during a Michigan winter. Still, I wish he had gotten it, even though I was still a toddler. It would have been awesome to have pics of 3-5 year old me behind the wheel of one!
This was great, love Back to the Future and The Delorean. Jay, can you do a piece about The General Lee 69 Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard tv show? Would love to see you take the wheel of the big Dodge Charger!
Darren O'Connor that was just for the show's storyline. Some of the stunt cars had the doors welded shut for safety reasons, but on most General Lee's, the doors open. The reason for it in the show was that it was supposed to be a race car.
Max Power, yes, I know, but my point is that anyone who is likely to build a General Lee replica Charger is more than likely to weld the doors shut so that it will accurately replicate the "hero" versions of the car we saw in all the close up shots, and again, I'm not sure Jay wants to climb in through the window.
What a stupid missed opportunity for film studios to not keep and maintain their studios biggest movies' props, gather them all and open a museum on the studio lot and charge admission
So many parts on the rear of the car are surplus military parts that were just sold for basically scrap in the early 80's so it's nearly impossible to find them but the aftermarket community is amazing and recreates almost all of it. The damn Mr Fusion is just a 80's Krups coffee bean grinder lol
Different generation sure, but the delorean is still more iconic than anything else, as new generation kids know what the time machine is. You ask them what the general lee, the interceptor, kitt or the ateam van they have no clue what you’re talking about.
If I was driving the DeLorean, stopped at a gas station and got out, I'd ask the first person who came up to me: "Can you tell me what year this is?". ha ha

Who wouldn't want another BTTF movie? A spin off perhaps. After watching Ready player one, it's give you the taste for more of the Delorean.
When I saw Back to the Future all I wanted was that lifted black 85’ Toyota Pickup that Marty got at the end. I pretty much knew a DeLorean was out of the question. 😂
same here. it was my dream truck at 16 and at 24 it finally became a reality.... :)
Everybody wanted that truck.
Im going for the delorean even if it kills me.

“Doc Brown doesn’t drive a f***ing Mustang.” Possibly one of the best decisions made in the movie industry. And a badass way to do it🤘😎

It does, it's a spectrum analyzer connected to a microphone. 👍🏻

Ahh, man, I'd love to own a DeLorean. Those things are pretty awesome!
This is my favorite episode. I love the questions going both ways.
I only wished Jay did this presentation while wearing a red vest jacket. It just feels fitting.
Also the self lacing Nike sneakers
I remember seeing back to the future 20 times in 85. From the first time as a 10 year old boy I have always wanted a delorian. Definitely will always be my dream car. I don't care what anyone says about delorians. Slow, bad quality, ECT. I don't care, one day I will have one!
Get one. I'll tell you this man if you have the want and the love and passion you will get one. I have a friend who has a BTTF Delorean (it's a part 2 one so it has the Mr Fusion) and he is a teacher. He doesn't make a lot of money but he adores BTTF. He wanted the car so he bought a Delorean and over the course of a few years slowly turned it into a time machine. He bought piece by little piece and eventually got a full screen accurate replica.
I just love this kind of backstory! This is awesome!
Did anyone else think @2:02 Jay was going to say "Well, let's go back to the Future".
Lol
😂
The car is the star
Ha! now after watching it again. Yes!
Yes 😄
I auditioned with Michael J. Fox for, what became his first tv work. A little show called "Leo and Me" produced by the CBC up here in Canada. You can find some footage of the show here on TH-cam.
Later, I went to the same high school as Mike. A great guy all round.
6:12... somewhere on that Delorean is a microphone that is directly connected to that display near the door... you can see the levels bop up and down as he's talking to Jay...
Interesting how the level meter behind the driver seat is voice activated.
I was really wondering if anyone else was going to notice that lol.
Valen Greymoon same
At first I thought they were random, then I noticed them being in time with the audio. Thats attention to detail!!
noticed that. now i have to look and see if it does it in the movie
Yeah I was watching that lol
Great Scott!
One of your best shows ever Jay. These two guys are hilarious. Like Abbott and Costello, Burlap, and Gunny . The Sack Bros.
The car is a national treasure. A bill should be passed in Congress that guarantees the car will always remain 100% restored.
Congress will think the Russians were being the car being built.
Yeah how did the Dummies at Universal just let that treasure of a car just sit outside and rot???? F-d up!
@@easye5653 the execs that are in charge of budgeting could careless about a movie prop. In most cases I would agree, but not in this case. This movie struck a chord with a lot of people and became a classic and the car should be treated with the utmost care so that it can be enjoyed by future generations.
@Howdy Justice yes really.
A national treasure? It's a movie prop.
Doc brown doesn’t drive a f**king Mustang 🤣🤣 i like that guy
Marty’s mom would most likely be the mustang driver.
Came looking for this comment!
He definitely fleshes out is characters!
I need that on a tshirt
One does not simply drive a f**king Mustang.
SOUND ACTIVATED LED's, Cooooool
8:39 Jaw's 9 where the shark is driving a bus. Well with some movies in recent history, your not far off.
thejunkman Jaws 19, came out in 2015. And the shark still looked fake.
It's silly to suggest that a shark might drive a bus. They might lurk in tornadoes however.
Or hell cars fighting subs and jumping off planes.
Levi's must love Jay Leno
He's also a Canadian diplomat
I love this! Thanks to Jay Leno for highlighting this car! I loved this car EVEN before the movie!
Legend has it that the refrigerator idea was recycled 2 decades later for Indiana Jones & The Crystal Skull.
That movie never ever happened. ever.
You’re half right. So the climax of the first BTTF draft had Marty going to a nuclear test site in Nevada, like at the beginning of Indy 4, because a nuclear explosion was the only thing that could power the time machine.
Bill and Ted could've used a refrigerator instead of a phone booth 🤷♂️
@@MPDLR Indiana Jones and what? You're dreaming mate. That movie doesn't exist. Nothing to see here. Now look into this pen. BLINK.
I saw the original at Paramount Carowins Park 1994 which was awesome!! But it sat outside so long that they had do a restoration before it went to the Peterson museum
Are you're sure you aren't talking about Universal studios in Florida? Cause I don't really recall the BTTF DeLoran being there at Carowinds and it's one of my favorite places to go to.
I think those of us who grew up in the 80s earned our love for cars through the movies. I vividly remember going to Universal Studios as a kid and being awestruck by picture cars that would be on display. At one point, the line to get on the Universal Tram Ride circled around Ecto 1, which I thought was the coolest thing. But you got to see the BTTF car, the A-Team van, KITT, and the Magnum PI Ferrari all up close! I know that, for me, it really had an impact on me.
I remember seeing a red one along with a yellow one and an unpainted one all together for sale at a used car dealer in Monterey many years ago. Always thought they were beautiful cars.
This is simply awesome. Good to see Joe and Terry and the passion they had for this restoration.
One of the best trilogies I've ever experienced in my younger years. I tortured my mother to bring me to Show Case Cinemas in Danvers Mass time and time again when i was 12 years old, and she delivered! Love you MOM!
Best car to be in when you get pulled over for speeding :)
"Officer... write me a ticket for 88mph and I'll pay any fine you like" xD
Goes to courtJudge: what's the crimeOfficer: Speeding in a DMC DeLoreanJudge: GET OUT. LOL
If it can ever go fast enough to be considered speeding.
your comment as of now has 88 likes...
"Do you know that we clocked you at 90 miles an hour?"… "Can't be, because if I were going that fast ... you wouldn't see me/I wouldn't be here" :-)
Might be one of the few series where all 3 series were perfect..
The second film was the weakest IMHO and the third was not quite but almost as good as the first... in different ways.
@Luke Meier wtf are you smoking
Girlfriend Jennifer cast changed, you called that perfect?? Same goes with Iron Man series where one Rodney cast change ruins the whole story
Wasn't a fan of the third one as much. The proposed third one sounded better
Loved the documentary and great to see these guys committed to restoring movie car history.
Doc Brown doesn't drive a fu..ing mustang...........awesome!!!
set the time to be at the 1/4 mile finish line before the mustang takes off
Couldn't get that on the first time.
SPACE TRUCKER I love mustangs, but a mustang as a time machine would be atrocious
But in back to the future part 2 theres a modified future mustang
SPACE TRUCKER I laughed so hard when I heard that. Hahaha mustang
This episode talked enough about movies to make me feel like I was watching the Tonight Show, a nice feeling since I haven't watched so much as 10 seconds of it since Jay left.
epic episode! sat in one of these as a kid. also saw it at theme parks. always put a smile on my face
there are some iconic movie cars that just define a decade and are priceless today. In the 60's it was the bullitt mustang. the 70's had the trans am from smokey and the bandit. the 80's had this.
e s and don't forget the General Lee
It's easier to get a Delorean to go back in time than to get it up to 88mph.
Beautifully done. The car took my breath away. Congrats.
"when i backed my miura into my other miura"...said literally only one person, ever.
The best sentence of the video: "This car has an agent."
J Johnson hahahahaha amazing
Hello from the future 💖 the idea of utilizing the time traveling DeLorean is based a true event from 2049 😊
Anyone else notice the graphic equalizer moving to the conversation?
It's a spectrum analyzer. ;-)
Probably more likely that it's just a level meter pretending to be a spectrum analyzer.
Peter Anderson, it is not a sound level meter, it is a functional RTA (Real Time Analyzer) unit. The led bars respond to a different sound frequency each. From low frequencies to high frecuencies (left to right in that order). Notice it when Jay turns on the engine, the far left led bar peaks red from the engine rumble (23:35). Pretty nice detail.
.Mayhap you're right John - I'll have a closer look. What pedants we are!
In the BTTF universe they call it the Christmas tree. What it is suppose to do is actually show the power output of the car. In the films it is usually just hovering around the green area and once the flux capacitor powers up it jumps to the red on all bars. guess its in a demo mode in this car as looks a lot cooler moving than just being at the bottom. Wish they did a segment at night with the flux band on. Did you know in the film those lights were actually white but the camera they used made them look blue
"What do we want?"
"TIME TRAVEL!"
"When do we want it?"
"IT'S IRRELEVANT!"
DO NOT TRAVEL TO THE YEAR 2020
That is a truly amazing restoration! the details and knowledge.
THUMBS UP if you hear Huey Lewis in the background playing in your head!
tell me doctor, where are we going this time
is this the 50's, or 1999
all I wanted to do was play guitar and sing
so take me away, I don't mind
but you better promise me we'll be back in time
The power of love is a curious thing
Make a one man weep, make another man sing
Change a heart to a little white dove
More than a feeling, that's the power of love
Tougher than diamonds, whips like cream
Stronger and harder than a bad girls dream
Make a bad one good, mmm make a wrong right
Power of love will keep you home at night
I'm afraid you're just too darn loud....
I'm like '85
"Jaws 9, where the shark is driving a bus"!!! aahahhaha im done.
It's difficult to hit joy, excitement, wonder, and dreams... in one video Jay. You were brave enough to try... and succeed.
Not much turns heads on the street more than a Back to the Future Delorean.
I drive a movie car as well (JP jeep) and it's crazy how many people will look straight through a Lamborghini or maclaren and oogle at your car instead. Can be annoying sometimes when people won't let you merge cus they are taking a photo but when you see a fellow movie car it's a blast.
Errhka, JP = what? ....Jurassic Park?
No other car has to be guarded as closely at car shows and cruises. For some reason people will just walk up and sit in it. Met a guy who had made a bar that goes across the door jamb.
guy in my area has a delorean with the plate Mcfly,, too cool
Yep. Been to car shows where there's a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, and a DeLorean and the DMC got all the attention. No one cared about the other two.
no mention of Ready Player One!? Bringing it back to the screen and a new Generation of fans!
My dad almost got a DeLorean in the 80s when we lived out in Berkeley, California. He however knew we were going to be moving to Ann Arbor, Michigan the next year and being a native of Michigan he knew the DeLorean was probably not the best car during a Michigan winter. Still, I wish he had gotten it, even though I was still a toddler. It would have been awesome to have pics of 3-5 year old me behind the wheel of one!
This was great, love Back to the Future and The Delorean. Jay, can you do a piece about The General Lee 69 Dodge Charger from The Dukes of Hazzard tv show? Would love to see you take the wheel of the big Dodge Charger!
Freedom of speech is the right to offend. "While I do not agree with your view, i will defend your right to say it to the death"
I'm not sure Jay would want to climb through the window to get in.
Darren O'Connor Lee 1 the doors open. Its the one that did the jump in Georgia
Darren O'Connor that was just for the show's storyline. Some of the stunt cars had the doors welded shut for safety reasons, but on most General Lee's, the doors open. The reason for it in the show was that it was supposed to be a race car.
Max Power, yes, I know, but my point is that anyone who is likely to build a General Lee replica Charger is more than likely to weld the doors shut so that it will accurately replicate the "hero" versions of the car we saw in all the close up shots, and again, I'm not sure Jay wants to climb in through the window.
What a stupid missed opportunity for film studios to not keep and maintain their studios biggest movies' props, gather them all and open a museum on the studio lot and charge admission
So many parts on the rear of the car are surplus military parts that were just sold for basically scrap in the early 80's so it's nearly impossible to find them but the aftermarket community is amazing and recreates almost all of it. The damn Mr Fusion is just a 80's Krups coffee bean grinder lol
The car had around 130 horse power or 1.21 gigawatts
Horse power, This is still America,,,,,, for now.
gas engine is 130... flux capacitor is 1.21 ^_^
West -- What's funny is that he pronounced it "Jigawatts" in the movie, LOL.....
Martys toyota probably would have blown the doors off the Delorian lol
IronClad292 - Absolutely Right! It's not "jig", it's "Gig". WHY didn't someone tell Christopher Lloyd so that he didn't sound phony??
"Plutonium! You cant just go down to your local store and purchase plutonium. Wait a minute Doc, are you telling me that this Sucker is Nuclear!""
No this suckers electric but it need a nuclear explosion to generate the 1.21 gigawatts
Find some Kombi guys.
Simple heat and mechanics .
1.21 GIGAWATTS?!?
one! point twenty-one! gigawatts!?
Interesting because Jay's collection is going , forward to the past !
So the light board on the left side behind the driver seat reacts to sounds? It goes crazy when Bob Gale speaks 😯😄
DeLorean = Timeless ;)
It's the most beloved prop from one of the most beloved movies of all time. It makes everyone smile.
Never forget the General Lee as one of the most iconic cars also.
Or Mad Max's V8 Interceptor!
Different generation sure, but the delorean is still more iconic than anything else, as new generation kids know what the time machine is. You ask them what the general lee, the interceptor, kitt or the ateam van they have no clue what you’re talking about.
Chill Theres a lot iconic cars ghostbusters Cadillac wagon, batmobile, Knight rider, Herbie, Eleanor & my favorite then turbo interceptor "the wraith"
