I’m Going Back… Back to the Future!

Posted by Matt Cipriano | No Comments

Growing up in the 80s, the awesomeness of Back to the Future was just a given.

One of the things that made it all so cool was the DeLorean with the Flux Capacitor, what kid didn’t dream of one day growing up and owning that car, especially with its wing-like doors. Unfortunately the company closed down their production plant in Northern Ireland in 1982.

Now a company in Texas is working to start reproducing DeLoreans. DeLorean motor company has acquired about original DeLorean engines and own the trademarks and engineering drawings, starting this year will begin producing about 20 cars a year. After they run out of the original DeLorean parts they have from the 20 year old factory they think they will start making new DeLoreans from scratch.

Unfortunately none of the cars come equipt with flux capacitors making time travel in a DeLorean still just a distant dream, well unless you can find Doc Brown and an Oscar somewhere.

    As with Anna Karina, we prefer to remember the U.S.A as she was in the 1960s.
