Part of the reason the DeLorean’s time machine transformation worked so well were the efforts that the prop builders made to incorporate Brown’s advanced technology into the already 80s-futuristic body shape of the DMC-12’s wedge.

Funny enough, it almost didn’t happen: the studio was pushing hard for product placement in movie, and made numerous overtures to writer Bob Gale to swap out the DeLorean for a more pedestrian Ford Mustang.
