Fun Fact: In the original script, Doc used a refrigerator on the back of a pick-up truck as his time machine. The producers soon realized that it was too bulky and came up with the idea of putting the time machine inside of a car. Ford Motor Company approached them with a sponsorship to highlight the Ford Mustang, but producers opted for the futuristic DeLorean even though it broke down frequently on set and the car’s namesake declared bankruptcy. – biography.com.
