DeLorean Time Machine Replica Prop Car (Events)
A little background first ...
The DeLorean Time Machine Replica Prop Car is a 1:1
Full-size fiberglass model of the DeLorean Time Machine
created from the same molds used to create the flying
BTTF II Movie version of the DeLorean Time Machine.
This promotional recreation was not screen accurate
and it was used as a museum display for several years
then discarded to the back lot after initial display use.
Prop Car was purchased and refurbished in 2002/2003.
Currently, this Prop Car is the only Time Machine Replica
that weighs under 880 lbs. and can be displayed in hover
mode (by cables/crane) or on its wheels, for displays that
require a light-weight vehicle, such as on a stage or riser.
The DeLorean Time Machine Replica Prop Car has been
at many events, but at the Chicago Innovation Awards
last night, there were many Instagrams, Twitter and
FaceBook post (with photos, of course) at the event.
I will post some links later today.

DeLorean Time Machine Replica Prop Car "PhotoBombs" hosts and guests
Attaching a number of photos from the Chicago Innovation Awards last week.
From the view of the photographer, it appeared the DeLorean Time Machine
Replica Prop Car was photobombing hosts and guests in almost every photo.
I thought it was an interesting "theme" for many of the photos that night.

Back in Time ... in storage until late 2006
After DCS 2004, the BTTF Time Machine Prop Car Replica was in a storage unit until late 2006.
Unfortunately, it missed appearing at DCS 2006 since I "ran out of time" moving my vehicles to the show
and the storage unit place changed their hours (formerly 24 hour access) and I was locked out of the unit.
Attaching photos of the prop car in the storage unit and after I removed it from the unit in October 2006.

Back in Time ... to Adobe MAX 2007
It was 7 years ago this month that the BTTF Time Machine Prop Car Replica appeared at Adobe MAX 2007 at McCormick Place in Chicago.
It was an 80's theme for Adobe MAX 2007 and the DeLorean Time Machine fit right in for the event, with other "Super Sized" 1980's props.

Back in Time ... to the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade 2007
I believe 2007 was the first year that I displayed the DeLorean Time Machine Prop Car Replica as a "float" on my single place open trailer.
I displayed the prop car as a "float" twice in 2007, with the first time being at the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade:

Back in Time ... to the Chicago St. Patrick's Day Parade 2008
It seems like the DMC Club never has a shortage of attention given to our DeLoreans, especially from the Chicago Police Department.
So many "hoops" to jump through for all the drivers...need to see current registration, insurance card and driver's license of each driver.
Lot's of paperwork to fill out as well. We need to have it every year...sometimes they look at it, sometimes keep it, sometimes nothing.
