If the Back to the Future Trilogy has taught me something about what hoverboards SHOULD look like...
Street Art.
Back to the Future. I've Googled this and found that it is the work of Graffiti Life, a team of artists with a professional looking web site. A bit too professional maybe as, apart from the gallery, they could be a firm of management consultants. Not what I expected.
I've seen another photo of this which shows the mural in a "finished" state except that the door is entirely green with the mural painted around it. Can't help wondering about that!
The Hilux 4X4 is a pickup truck manufactured by Toyota, marketed just as "Toyota Truck" in North America from 1973-95 with no model name mentioned in advertising, promotional material, or on the trucks themselves after 1975.
In 1985, Statler Toyota received a delivery of a new truck painted in black. When Marty McFly returned from 1955, the improved present placed the vehicle in his garage and he had possession of the keys. Its license plate number was 2BAK860.
His plans shifted to driving Jennifer Parker up to the lake; however, Emmett Brown's arrival in the DeLorean time machine from 2015 halted those plans. Marty would return on Sunday to find Biff Tannen waxing his new truck. He drove to Jennifer's house and woke her up from the porch swing he and Doc had placed her on back in 1985A.
Marty and Jennifer drove past Hilldale where they had a recollection of the future, when Douglas J. Needles and his gang drove up beside them and challenged them to a drag race. Marty declined but after being called "chicken", he braced for takeoff. Marty drove in reverse at the turn of the green light and watched as the near lane was soon taken by a Rolls Royce, which he might have hit had he continued racing.
Marty drove Jennifer to the site of the DeLorean's destruction along the train tracks when they heard the sound of the pedestrian warning bells at the railroad crossing.

Originally built as a winter residence for the Gamble family (the Gamble of Proctor and Gamble), the Gamble House shows the influence of traditional Japanese design.
The BMW 633CSi is a model of BMW built between 1976 and 1989.
In 2015, Griff Tannen owned a heavily modified hover-converted version of the car, which was a convertible orange and black model waxed for him (two coats, naturally) by his grandfather Biff Tannen. Griff accidentally smashed his left taillight with his bat while swinging furiously at Marty McFly.
Actuality
Anyone expecting to see in 2015 a futuristic, flying BMW of the make and model featured in Back to the Future Part II is going to be disappointed, as the BMW 633CSi is no longer being produced.
As far as is known, BMW have no plans to produce a flying model in the foreseeable future. But maybe one day...!

The Packard was a make of car in the 1950s.
Emmett Brown owned a cream-colored Packard Custom Eight Victoria and let Marty McFly borrow it for the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. The car became the scene of the scuffle between Biff Tannen, Lorraine Baines, and George McFly.
When Marty returned for the second time to 1955, he drove Doc home after he fainted.
The Packard's license plate number was 8N39742.

My favourite car from the trilogy of the 'Back to the Future' films is the Packard Convertible owned by the 1955 era Doc Brown. Not necessarily obvious to recent viewers of the film, the Packard is one of the subtle references to the privilege background that Doc Brown would have come from. The Packard of the post-war period were a challenge to Cadillac as the very best car one could buy. The Custom Eight Victoria sitting toward the higher end of the Packard range. The 1948 was the first new Post-War Packards, still utilising the pre-war chassis and straight-eight engine.
One of the other markers of Doc Brown's status in 1955 is his house. The following are a couple of interesting links regarding both his house and the garage used in the first film:
Doc Brown house from the film is a fantastic early 29th century home; 'Robert R. Blacker House' (no relation). I encourage the reader to investigate this house further, as it is really exceptionally finished.

The second home used was 'Gamble House', designed by the same Architects:

It´s not a good day to be a bad guy.
Believe me, it´s not trivial.
I´am not there, I did not die.
Victims? Aren´t we all?
Mother is the name for God on the lips and hearts of all children.
It Can't Rain All The Time.
If the people we love are stolen from us, the way to have them live on, is to never stop loving them.
Buildings burn, people die, but real love is forever.
“People once believed that when someone dies, a crow carries their soul to the land of the dead. But sometimes, something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can't rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the crow can bring that soul back to put the wrong things right.”
James O'Barr
The clock is standing on a light table and I've used a shaving mirror to cast light back onto the face which would have been under lit. This also added some interest to the reflection in the clock's lens.
One problem I hadn't anticipated was that, because of the mains frequency, about 75% of my shots were catching one or other of the fluorescent tubes in the light table in an apparent "off" state leaving darker bands across the image.
After building several versions of this iconic film vehicle, I finally landed on something I'm a bit more satisfied with. I hope you like it.

Marty: "Let's land on him, we'll cripple his car."
Doc: "Marty, he's in a '46 Ford. We're in a DeLorean. He'd rip through us like we were tin foil."
— As the DeLorean hovers over the Ford
The Ford Super De Luxe was a model of vehicle manufactured by Ford during the 1940s. Biff Tannen owned a 1946 version in 1955 which was a convertible, painted black with a red interior, and had the nickname "Shiela". Its license plate number was 6H 96472.
Biff was the only person who knew the trick to starting the ignition, as he told Terry: "You just gotta have the right touch. Nobody can start this car but me." Biff still remembered the technique in his old age — much to the amazement of his younger self, who demanded to know how this "old codger with a cane" knew how to do this.
History
After being provoked by Marty McFly in Lou's Cafe on November 8, 1955, Biff and his gang chased him in the Ford around Courthouse Square before slamming into a manure truck. By November 12, Biff had the car repaired. In order to repair the damage to his car, Biff was pressured by Terry to pay $300 for the job, but refused payment. As he argued with Terry, both Marty and Biff's older self jumped into the Ford, with Marty hiding in the back seat. Old Biff drove the Ford back to his house and parked it in his garage before displaying the Grays Sports Almanac.
Later that night, Marty snuck away in the back seat again as Biff drove to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance at Hill Valley High School. Biff parked the vehicle outside the door of the gymnasium and returned to it after discovering that Marty had been after the almanac. Biff drove the Ford towards River Road Tunnel on the way home before Marty swooped in using the hoverboard. Biff and Marty fought over the almanac outside and in the tunnel, with Biff sideswiping the wall of the tunnel with the right side of the Ford. When Biff reached the end of the tunnel, he turned completely around and faced Marty who was still halfway inside. Biff charged the car towards Marty in the hopes of running him over, but failed when Marty grabbed a string of pennants attached to the DeLorean time machine. As Biff watched the DeLorean hover away, he crashed the Ford into a manure truck again, filling his car with manure.
It is unclear what became of the Ford after 1955, but it reappeared newly restored in 1985A where it was on display at the entrance to the Biff Tannen Museum, alongside a waxwork figure of Biff.

This Lego miniland scale 1946 Ford Super Deluxe Convertible (Back to the Future I & II) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 96th Build Challenge - The 8th Birthday, titled - 'Happy Crazy Eight Birthday, LUGNuts' - where all previous build challenges are available to build to. This model is built to the LUGNuts 6th build challenge, - "Your Claim to Fame" - a challenge encouraging the builder to create an iconic model with some level of popular culture reference (to ensure lots of interweb exposure) - in this case, this model is created and loaded to the interweb in the lead up to October 21st 2015 - the day that Marty and Doc Brown arrive in 2015 from their original timeline in 1985.
History
By 2015, taxicabs, like most vehicles, were able to fly, which rendered transportation much quicker than when they were road cars. However, the fares were much more expensive compared to the previous century.
The DeLorean time machine nearly collided with a taxicab when it departed from Lyon Estates in 1985 and appeared in the wrong lane of Skyway C25 on October 21, 2015, facing oncoming traffic.
On the same day, Biff Tannen followed the DeLorean, with Doc and Marty aboard, to Hilldale in Cab B25 from the Luxor Cab Company. Fred, the cab driver, had an intelligent parrot named Priscilla that could read the amount of the fare.
The cab had its own entertainment system consisting of "200 local channel stereo, mobile phone, food, beverage and snack dispensing systems". [1] Biff may have made use of this facility to pass the time while the vehicle was stuck on the jammed Skyway C25.

The Citroen DS Taxi is the very first vehicle seen in the year 2015 - a remarkable 60 years after the original launch of the DS road car. The DS Taxi still looks more modern than a majority of the taxis on the road today - though the Toyota Prius probably comes closest.
Old Biff uses the DS Taxi to get about in Hill Valley through the 2015-era part of the movie.

The Packard was a make of car in the 1950s.
Emmett Brown owned a cream-colored Packard Custom Eight Victoria and let Marty McFly borrow it for the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance. The car became the scene of the scuffle between Biff Tannen, Lorraine Baines, and George McFly.
When Marty returned for the second time to 1955, he drove Doc home after he fainted.
The Packard's license plate number was 8N39742.

My favourite car from the trilogy of the 'Back to the Future' films is the Packard Convertible owned by the 1955 era Doc Brown. Not necessarily obvious to recent viewers of the film, the Packard is one of the subtle references to the privilege background that Doc Brown would have come from. The Packard of the post-war period were a challenge to Cadillac as the very best car one could buy. The Custom Eight Victoria sitting toward the higher end of the Packard range. The 1948 was the first new Post-War Packards, still utilising the pre-war chassis and straight-eight engine.
One of the other markers of Doc Brown's status in 1955 is his house. The following are a couple of interesting links regarding both his house and the garage used in the first film:
Doc Brown house from the film is a fantastic early 29th century home; 'Robert R. Blacker House' (no relation). I encourage the reader to investigate this house further, as it is really exceptionally finished.

The second home used was 'Gamble House', designed by the same Architects:

This model is built to the LUGNuts 33rd Build Challenge, - "Size matters" - a challenge to build any vehicle in more than one scale. The MotorCity 1:28 scale shown here joining the Miniland 1:20.5 scale model shown last week.
The BMW 633CSi is a model of BMW built between 1976 and 1989.
In 2015, Griff Tannen owned a heavily modified hover-converted version of the car, which was a convertible orange and black model waxed for him (two coats, naturally) by his grandfather Biff Tannen. Griff accidentally smashed his left taillight with his bat while swinging furiously at Marty McFly.
Actuality
Anyone expecting to see in 2015 a futuristic, flying BMW of the make and model featured in Back to the Future Part II is going to be disappointed, as the BMW 633CSi is no longer being produced.
As far as is known, BMW have no plans to produce a flying model in the foreseeable future. But maybe one day...!

The flying customised BMW 633 CSi from 'Back to the Future II' was the ride of Griff Tannen, the grandson of Biff (from BTTF I & II). Other than landing outside the Cafe 80's and being whacked by Griff's baseball bat, the car does not get to play much role in the movie.
