A hand-painted Ralph McQuarrie concept illustration from the production of Universal Studios' Back to the Future: The Ride. In the attraction, visitors helped Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) recover the stolen Delorean from Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson). McQuarrie was the conceptual designer for the ride, which had visual effects by Douglas Trumbull and ran from 1991 to 2007 at Universal's Hollywood and Florida theme parks (2016 in Japan).

This large framed painting is rendered in mixed media on heavyweight illustration board labeled "Car Illustration" and signed and dated "R.McQuarrie '89" in pencil. It shows the Delorean traveling throw a molten lava environment, with a shape that emulated the attraction's projection screen. It is in excellent overall condition with minor wear and tape residue on the frame.
