20 images Created 23 Oct 2015

On Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2015, I photographed Dr. Jeff Gladding—a local anesthesiologist—and his 1981 DeLorean DMC-12, the iconic gull-wing car better known as the time machine from Robert Zemeckis' Back to The Future trilogy. Eighties nostalgia nerds know Oct. 21, 2015 is the future date that Doc and Marty travel to in Part II. Gladding's DeLorean was refurbished by Bob's Prop Shop in Dallas, Texas and is a practically perfect, screen-accurate replica of Emmett Brown's plutonium time machine.

  • The original DeLorean Motor Company (DMC) was an American automobile manufacturer founded John DeLorean in 1975. The DMC-12 was manufactured from 1981-1983. It featured a fiberglass chassis, gull-wing doors, a brushed stainless steel body, and rear engine. The “12” in DMC-12 refers to the intended original $12,000 price. During initial production the suggested retail price was raised to $25,000.
