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.
This Lego miniland scale Citroen DS Taxi - 2015 (Back to the Future 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 encouragingthe 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.
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 Lego miniland scale 1948 Packard Custom Eight Victoria 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 45th Build Challenge, - "Everything Under the Sun" - a challenge to build any vehicle with an open roof, showering the occupants with sunshine (or rain if there is no closing roof mechanism). The model is also built to the 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) -
The garage of the Gamble House (now the bookstore and museum shop) was the setting for Doc Brown's garage/workshop in the ‘50s. The garage featured in the ‘80s portion of the movie was a facade built in an LA parking lot.

The Gamble House was only used for the exterior shots in "Back To The Future." Most of the interiors were shot at the nearby Blacker House (1907), another Greene and Greene masterpiece. (The interior scenes of Doc Brown's garage/lab were shot on a sound stage.)
The Gamble house was built in the Arts and Crafts style--a movement dedicated to the use of natural materials, attention to detail and hand craftsmanship. It was a reaction to both Victorian-era ornateness and the "soulless" mass-produced nature of the Industrial Revolution.
Halloween 2008 = three-apartment barcrawl (Xtian/Milberger + me + Mary) to petty cab adventure downtown to Gallery Bar dance party. Oof.
The Packard was a make of car in the 1950s.
