![History of the time machine DeLorean [Mizumaru Kawahara's CINEMONOLOGUE Vol.20]](https://cinemore.jp/images/0af24e9c245482be1675fbdd43e14e448af4baf467ed7a5f4633eb9c68a9a4cb.png)
The last Delorean running after 70 years
Due to a mistake, Doc is sent to 1885, during the Western Development Era, and seals the DeLorean, whose "time circuit" necessary for flight and time travel has been broken, in an abandoned mine shaft, and returns 70 years later in 1955. After that, Marty and the then-Doc fix it so they can safely return to 1985. The device mounted on the hood replaces the broken time circuit microchip (made in Japan), and is an electronic circuit with vacuum tubes and wiring surrounded by a wooden frame. In addition, cute tires with white ribbons typical of the 1950s have been added, and these retro elements have been added to the stylish and futuristic DeLorean, creating an interesting design. The last DeLorean, which has an atmosphere of the future and the past, sets off into the nostalgic Wild West, and goes on a romantic final adventure with the locomotive.
The modifications in Part 2 solved the range and fuel problems, but the flight function was lost and the fuel tank was punctured, draining precious gasoline. Although "Mr. Fusion" is safe and there is no need for plutonium, Doc and Marty are troubled by gasoline, which is a common fuel for cars. I think it's well done that it not only returns to its roots, but also makes the existence of self-driving cars seem far-fetched, and returns to the issues of distance and fuel in a different way than in Part 1. In addition, the story in part 3 is where the main character, Marty, encounters his origins in many ways, such as using pre-car transportation such as horses and locomotives, and even coming face-to-face with his own ancestors.
What I have depicted here is only three versions according to the trilogy, but it is actually possible to differentiate them in more detail. The 1985 and 1955 versions of Part 1 will be different versions, and the version of Part 3 will also be different between the one excavated from an abandoned mine and repaired and the one pushed by a locomotive. Which Delorean do you like?
