The DeLorean used in the Back to the Future movie trilogy may be the single most memorable movie vehicle for anyone who grew up in the 1980s (as did the vast majority of the staff here at Autoblog).

No surprise, then, that a company may want to make use of all that nostalgia to market itself – apparently, even one based in Argentina that we’d never heard of called Garbarino. The superstore apparently has all manner of high-end gadgetry, and it’s hocked the skills of one Christopher Lloyd – forever known to BTTF fans as Doctor Emmet L. Brown – to help sell them.

We’ll get this out of the way right off the bat… these are just commercials for an Argentinian electronics store and aren’t going to set your BTTF-filled world on fire. Regardless, it’s good clean fun, and it gives us yet another reason to ogle over a certain nuclear-powered DeLorean and its flux capacitor (which is what makes time travel possible…). Check out the vids after the break.
Finally, for more on the actual car used to film these commercials, check out this link. We also think it’s cool that Garbarino is setting up a way for patrons to make donations to Michael J. Fox’s charity to find a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
