BACK TO THE FUTURE (1985) - Ron Cobb Hand-Drawn DeLorean Overhead Plan Artwork
Hand-drawn artwork depicting an overhead plan of the DeLorean time machine from Robert Zemeckis’ time-travel adventure Back to the Future. Rendered by Ron Cobb — a production designer who helped design the time machine in a special consultant role — this illustration is one of the earliest designs for Doc Brown’s (Christopher Lloyd) stylish invention.

Drawn with pencil on vellum drafting grid paper and taped to an illustration board, the illustration shows an early concept for the DeLorean from a top-down angle, with an array of electrical equipment over the back third of the vehicle. This early concept notably shows only one steam vent at the rear of the vehicle, and includes labels identifying the various unique components attached to the DeLorean.

The artwork has “BACK TO THE FUTURE” and “THE DELOREAN TIME MACHINE” written at the bottom corners in pencil, and is signed “R. COBB ‘84” at the bottom corner of the vehicle. The artwork shows minor wear due to use and age, with wrinkles to the paper. However, the piece remains in very fine condition. Dimensions (artwork): 61 cm x 46 cm (24” x 18”); (illustration board): 76 cm x 51 cm x 1 cm (30” x 20” x ¼”)
