In early drafts of Back to the Future, the time machine wasn't a DeLorean. In fact, it wasn't any type of car. It was a refrigerator! While one could argue that a refrigerator is rather cool — or should we say cold? — it doesn't instantly convey a fast trip to another year. The idea was that Marty McFly would climb into the refrigerator and travel back in time. However, the idea was scrapped by writer and director Robert Zemeckis along with executive producer Steven Spielberg. They were worried about children climbing into refrigerators and becoming trapped. Zemeckis then had the idea of using a car, as it meant the time machine could be mobile and involved in more exciting scenes. He wanted something that looked futuristic and cool, so the DeLorean was selected.
