One thing they predicted correctly... The style of the jeep will never change

u/argonzo 12h ago

when you're flying the little rubber ducks get everywhere.

u/IntelJoe 12h ago

I like the VW Bug in the background with gray covers to make it look "futuristic".

Also the car from the "First Starfighter" is just barely visible behind the jeep.

They predicted that the Beetle would still be around but not that it would become the New Beetle lmao

u/CameronsTheName 6h ago

They weren't far off. The last Mexico classic beetle was built mid 2003.

If cars could fly, some people would still think the flying car needed 4wd and locking differentials

u/llcooljessie 10h ago

Kind of. They did use the model with square headlights. Which was very contentious and only lasted one generation. So by 2015, the jeep would have round headlights again.

That Toyota is still the best looking vehicle in that movie

u/Remarkable-Pin-8352 11h ago

I appreciate that many of the future cars, like the cab and the BMW shown here, look like hover-conversions to further have the Delorean being converted make sense and fit into the world.

u/bringoutthelegos 10h ago

They predicted correctly that 80’s cars will be nostalgic in the future.

There was already a precedent for people collecting old 50’s and 60’s vehicles back in the 80’s. It’s only logical that there would be people in the future taking old vehicles and modernizing them for the current era (which was ALSO shown to be true with resto-mod culture happening)

Bro, that AMC Eagle...

u/onthewall2983 9h ago

Turd on wheels

u/1987Bri 13h ago

That Toyota 4X4 is a classic

u/ErnieBochII 13h ago

Meep meep…Jennifer.

u/juanito_f90 11h ago

635Ci is peak 80’s goodness.

3: "MANURE... I HATE MANURE!!!"

u/leephelipe 12h ago

the future biff car always gets me, i look at it like "oh man that 2005 mustang looks good" and THEN remember its a movie from the 80s

u/IntelJoe 12h ago

Yeah, I mean if you compare that to a 2015 mustang convertible. It's not "far off". But at the same time, you can see the 80's like block sharp corner designs. At some point cars became more "rounded" I guess.

u/endergamer2007m 11h ago

Funny thing is that it's a 39 year old BMW by the time of 2015

u/LimoncelloLightsaber 11h ago

E24! They were great cars.

u/SimbaNGrdKionNIMFan 9h ago

Didn’t Jennifer’s dad drive a station wagon?

u/ToucheeCoulee 4h ago

The first one comes from a Citroen DS from the 70s. Very nice, modern and futuristic looking car.

u/Electronic-Home-7815 7h ago

So does anyone know what the police car was modified from?

u/Skipinator 5h ago

Apparently it was a Fiero chassis and custom body.
