The 1946 car was kept by Universal after Back to the Future Part II was completed and put on display in their back lot tour, before being sold to a private collector. The other two cars (the 19 Fords) were used in long shot or in close-up. This car was used the most, and was also the one that got covered in manure. The 1946 car was a black coupe, with the roof cut off, so it looked like a convertible. During the filming of the first two films, three different Ford Super De Luxe cars were used (a 1946 car, a 1947 model and a 1948 model).It is unclear what became of the Ford after 1955, but it reappeared newly restored in 1985A where it was on display at the entrance to the Biff Tannen Museum, alongside a waxwork figure of Biff. As Biff watched Marty and the DeLorean hover away into the night, he crashed the Ford into a manure truck again, filling his car with manure. Biff charged the car towards Marty in the hopes of running him over, but failed when Marty grabbed a string of pennants attached to the DeLorean time machine. When Biff reached the end of the tunnel, he turned completely around and faced Marty who was still halfway inside. Biff and Marty fought over the almanac outside and in the tunnel, with Biff sideswiping the wall of the tunnel with the right side of the Ford. Biff drove the Ford towards River Road Tunnel on the way home before Marty swooped in using the hoverboard. Biff parked the vehicle outside the door of the gymnasium and drove off in it after discovering that Marty had been after the almanac. Later that night, Marty snuck away in the back seat again as Biff drove to the Enchantment Under the Sea dance at Hill Valley High School. Old Biff drove the Ford back to his house and parked it in his garage before displaying the Gray's Sports Almanac. As he argued with Terry, both Marty and Biff's older self jumped into the Ford, with Marty hiding in the back seat. In order to repair the damage to his car, Biff was pressured by Terry to pay $302.57 for the job, but refused payment.
