WELLESLEY, MASS. (WHDH) - It’s an ’80s kid’s dream car.
Dr. Jason Tubo of Fixt Dental in Wellesley said the idea to buy a Delorean and get it customized to look like the one used in the Back to the Future movie started as a joke.
But the joke turned into a great marketing idea, bringing smiles to the faces of customers.
“Like most of our really good ideas, it started as a joke,” he said. “There’s no other vehicle that I can think of that brings a smile to so many people’s faces — from 8 to 85 years old.”
The Deloran has a classic time control panel that takes us back to 2012 and all the props in the back, including a Flux Capacitor, make room for their deliveries in the front.
Tubo says they’re also building a separate mobile dental lab that will be same make and model as the one in the hit 1980s show The A-Team.
Dozens of people stopped to take pictures of the Delorean when 7NEWS was there to check it out.
Jenny Tubo says she gets a kick out of everyone enjoying the nostalgia.
“Just everybody from all over that comes and they’re so excited about it,” she said.
The office’s A-Team-inspired van will be done by the end of winter.
