DeLorean DMC-12  The blockbuster 1985 comedy "Back to the
Future" stars Michael J. Fox as teen-ager Marty McFly, who
travels 30 years into the past and meets the teen-age versions
of his parents. He uses a 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, modified for
time travel.  In the real world, the gull-winged DeLorean was an
expensive flop, and production stopped after one year. But its
cinematic counterpart became one of the most distinctive cars in
movie history, so much so that in 2011, the car collector
publication Hemmings Motor News reported that one of the three
used in the movie had sold at a Beverly Hills auction for
$541,200.  Source: Universal Pictures
