Actor Christopher Lloyd arrived at CES 2014 in his iconic time-traveling vehicle from "Back to the Future," the DeLorean, as part of a celebration of the 120th year of Gibson guitars.

Despite owning a time machine, Lloyd, who was in character as Doctor Emmett Brown, was 15 minutes late to the event Tuesday. The car he pulled up in was an authentic re-creation of the vehicle from the movie, complete with flux capacitor and eco-friendly "Mr. Fusion Home Energy Reactor." As he emerged, he was surrounded by puffs of smoke and enthusiastic camera-people.

Not often you see a photo of a B29... maybe this one was too big for the runway and ditched? B-24 in the air I think

A couple Deloreans in the parking lot... pretty cool that they could park next to each other

the 1979 Christmas Delorean in gold, an American Express special present... for 85,000 dollars. It wasn't the hit gift they thought it would be. Only 2 sold, not 100

or Christmas 1979, A DeLorean/American Express promotion planned to sell one hundred 24k gold-plated DeLorean's for $85,000 each to its gold card members, but only two were sold.

One of these was purchased by Roger Mize, president of Snyder National Bank in Snyder, Texas. VIN #4301 sat in the bank lobby for over 20 years before being loaned to the Petersen Automotive Museum of Los Angeles. It has a black interior, and an automatic transmission.

The second gold-plated American Express DMC-12 is located at the William F. Harrah Foundation/National Automobile Museum in Reno, Nevada. This car, VIN #4300, is the only one of the three existing gold-plated examples to be equipped with a manual transmission. This car has a tan interior that was planned for introduction later in the 1982 model year. Like its golden siblings, it is a low-mileage vehicle with only 1,442 miles (2,307 km) on the odometer.

A third gold-plated car exists with 636 miles (1,018 km) clocked up; it carries the latest VIN for the last DeLorean, #20105, though it is an earlier production car that was unfinished for reasons unknown, and the final assembly and installation of the gold panels was actually completed in Columbus, Ohio in 1983 by Consolidated International. This car was assembled with spare parts that were required by American Express in case one of the other two that were built were damaged. Now held by a private owner in La Vale, Maryland, the third and last gold-plated DeLorean is currently for sale at the price of $250,000. This car and the example in Reno have saddle-brown leather interiors, a color scheme which was intended to become an option on later production cars.

A fourth gold car was privately plated by it's owner in 1981 and was later sold to a private individual in Canada. It's current whereabouts are unknown.

Advertising is a clever thing, if you can generate talk about your product, you win. So make a DeLorean taxi, to advertise a watch

Mike Lubrano http://michaeljlubrano.com/index.php?/advertising/nooka-delorean-taxi/ is to get credit for this idea, and this photo.

the movie Rock of Ages is the first I've seen to use a DeLorean as a piece of scenery. Huh. A GTO too.

the San Diego British Car Club Council show at Liberty Station

 Deloreans were built in Ireland

What the new Mini coupe looks like

Quite a variety of Rolls Royce

And Lotus changed a lot too

Best display

 above, best cultural interior that fits the car show

 Quite a variety of Bentleys too

British cars that were at the show, Alpine, Austin, Delorean, Jaguar, Rolls Royce, Land Rover, Berkley, MG, Morris, TVR, Cooper, Triumph, Rootes, Morgan and maybe a couple I can't think of... but the number of Britsh built cars is surprising... and if you wonder why the new Mini is at the British car show... when it is a BMW... and you'd think German, well, it's built in Oxford Britian. Has 20 some percent of it's parts from France too.
