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.

Enchantment Under The Sea Disco
Fri 9 Dec
HOME, Manchester
We’re threw an ‘Enchantment Under The Sea’ disco, inspired by the much-loved opening night feature, Back to the Future. This free event played host to the UK’s premiere DeLorean Time Machine, illuminated and wreathed in dry ice in Tony Wilson Place come nightfall as the party was getting underway.
Inside, the film itself was screened whilst the ground floor bar was transformed into a kitsch, underwater setting inspired by the vintage party that Marty McFly gate-crashes to save his family’s future. Local artists were commissioned to create sea themed ‘your face here’ standees, ranging from mermaids, King Neptune and eaten-by-an-octopus!
A split music programme saw Vintage 78 DJs playing music from the 1950’s on gramophones, embracing the start of Rock n’ Roll, Rhythm and blues, Doo wop and Blues records from the greatest artists of the day including Chuck Berry, Wynonie Harris, Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, Bill Hayley, Tennessee Ernie Ford, the Chordettes and many more from 20.00 onwards.
At 10.04 – the moment that the clock tower in the movie is struck by lightning – the party flipped to hits of the 1980s, presided over by Christopher Dresden Styles of Manchester’s popular Pop Curious? club nights. Co-host Tilly Skreams flashed her retro moves on the dance floor to tunes from Madonna, Wham!, Duran Duran, a-ha, Dead or Alive, Eurythmics, Bruce Springsteen, Kate Bush, The Pet Shop Boys, The Smiths, Kylie, Soft Cell, Bros, Whitney Houston, Erasure, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and more.
Undersea Bar Tropicana was serving classic 80s cocktails plus authentic diner-type hotdogs and steaming piles of mac’n cheese keeping revellers fuelled and able to air-guitar with gusto, with complementary soap bubbles distributed to enthusiastic dancers and the best/worst-dressed.

I didn't take these, but this was the cake for my wedding a few weeks ago. The cake was the clock tower and was red velvet. It was done by Caryn's Cakes in Atlanta.
Our Selection of the 33 best films of the 1980s:
Welcome to our big list of the most Essential 1980s movies, showcasing 33 of the decade’s best and most iconic Fresh (and not-so-Fresh) movies. That’s right, we recommend some additions for your ’80s movie playlists, because this is one decade only fully experienced with the good, the bad, and the feathered neon.
Any ’80s movie with a rating was considered for our Essentials guide, and after including the truly timeless material (Raiders of the Lost Ark, Raging Bull), we focused on works that represented the cinematic trends and social themes of the era. Some of those include the fantasy epic (NeverEnding Story, Princess Bride), teen movies (Breakfast Club, Weird Science), the new corporate overlord (Wall Street, Trading Places), women making strides in the workplace (Baby Boom, Working Girl), and rising hip-hop culture (Krush Groove, Do the Right Thing).
In a time before superhero movies reigned supreme at the box office, the best ’80s movies offered up a full range of genres. There are the iconic teen movies like Pretty in Pink and The Breakfast Club, created by filmmaker John Hughes (and often starring Riverdale mom Molly Ringwald), or darker, angstier fare like Heathers and Beetlejuice. If action movies are more your thing, you've got Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, Beverly Hills Cop, or Die Hard to choose from. In the romance department, Coming to America and The Princess Bride will satisfy.
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.
