The famed Delorean was among movie cars at the corner of Koser and County Road N in Worden Sept. 9.

Best known for breaking the time barrier once it hit 88 miles per hour in the 1980s Back to the Future movie trilogy, the replica owned by Chad Botman of Chippewa Falls cost $55,000 to buy and another $10,000 to make into a time machine, one that he said gets driven each summer, rather than keeping it in the garage.

“Deloreans are a car that likes to be driven,” he said Saturday from World of Carz. Sharing the vehicle’s history outside Hill Valley California, Botman said the cars had gotten a bad rap originally after they had arrived in the oil embargo, meaning that the U.S. government wouldn’t let them be imported from Belfast Northern Ireland with the right engine.

Equipped with a 2.8 liter v6 in back and the trunk in front, the gull winged icon at World of Carz also sported several movie props, including a remote control from Dr. E. Brown Enterprises,1950 - 2000 Sports Almanac, picture of George and Lorraine from their 1955 sweetheart dance, a 2015 Mattel hoverboard, donation jar to “Save the Clocktower,” and a one of a kind capacitor behind clear glass in the middle of the back seat, three cords joined at the middle and requiring 1.21 gigawatts of electricity to function properly.

If you know, you know.

Having owned the replica movie car for four years, Botman said he became interested in them after seeing the movie as a teenager, a theme that was repeated with variations among other car owners present.

Also present at the World of Carz movie car show was a Ghostbusters car, if somewhat more recent model than the 1984 film original. With Smokey and the Bandit also a popular showing, Bo Durban of Eau Claire shared what inspired him to get the car made famous by Burt Reynolds and Sally Field in 1977.

“I’m a huge fan of the movie,” the Georgia native said. “I wanted one since I could drive.” Owning the car for 23 years but only turning it into a movie car this past year, Durban said that it had come from “mostly collecting parts for 20 years.”

With a van reminiscent of the A-Team also among those present, the show Sept. 9 saw two General Lee cars from Dukes of Hazzard and one called “Bad Influence.” But not all cars on display, were movie cars.

Don Danielewicz, had a Green Bay Packers themed vehicle.

“Not a movie car, just a show car,” Danielewicz said of his green and gold 1984 Cadillac Coupe de Ville with a small V8 in it. Having been to Green Bay a couple times for family fun night, the Coupe de Ville had started its career under Danielewicz’ brother-in-law, after  which it had been continually added to. Now 15 years on, the Packer-themed card was lots of fun.

As to the show host, World of Carz was packed full inside with model cars and other memorabilia opportunities. Store owner Craig Paul shared more on the location at Koser and County N in Worden.

“Our whole store is car themed,” he said. “Everything in the yard we try to have car themed.”

Now in its third year, the World of Carz store can be found at the corner of Koser and County Highway N, with model car sets and more inside.
