A replica of the iconic DeLorean time machine from the “Back to the Future” franchise has been unveiled as a new landmark outside Future Auto Repair in Bossier City, Louisiana. The installation, which has attracted numerous visitors eager to snap photos, is part of the business’s efforts to create a unique attraction following a recent rebranding.
The DeLorean replica was officially installed on June 15, 2025, in front of the auto repair shop located at 2250 Benton Road.

With the excitement generated around the DeLorean replica, Future Auto Repair appears to have successfully carved out its niche in the competitive auto repair market.
