<P> Several special - edition DMC - 12 cars have been produced over the years , and the car is most notably featured as the time machine in the Back to the Future film trilogy . Six DeLorean chassis were used during the production , along with one manufactured out of fiberglass for scenes where a full - size DeLorean was needed to `` fly '' on - screen ; only three of the cars still exist , with one that was destroyed at the end of Back to the Future Part III , two additional were abandoned , and the fiberglass replica was scrapped . Universal Studios owns two of the remaining cars , occasionally putting them on display or using them for other productions , and the last resides in a private collection after having been extensively restored . Beginning April 20 , 2016 , the official Back to the Future DeLorean can be viewed at the Petersen Automotive Museum . </P>
