The original was junk. It only has cachet because of the association with the movie. Maybe the idea was nice, but the execution on the original was wanting.

right, but the reason it was in the movie in the first place is because the car looked neat (and John DeLorean was also uh on trial for drug charges[0])

if Bob Zemeckis scrolled by this car writing the screenplay it would probably still call for a refrigerator

Mechanically, it was junk. Aesthetically it was amazing. It was eye catching even before the movie.
