Ironically, the Aurora concept that appeared in the 1993 film 'Demolition Man' now appears to be slated for, well, demolition.
Spy photos show the 1990 Cadillac Aurora concept sitting in a scrapyard ready to be crushed.The Aurora debuted at the 1990 Chicago auto show and had a cameo in the 1993 film Demolition Man.General Motors appears to have given up on preserving this piece of history, which packed a 4.5-liter V-8 and all-wheel drive.It's a well-worn tale: a movie star's time in the limelight quickly passes and they fade into obscurity, winding up destitute and forgotten.
The Aurora appears in the background of a city scene to show viewers a vision of the future of traffic. The movie is littered with GM concepts from the late 1980s and early '90s, such as the 1985 Buick Wildcat sports car, 1989 Cadillac Solitaire coupe, 1991 Corvette Sting Ray III, 1989 Oldsmobile Aerotech II wagon, and 1988 Pontiac Banshee. The unorthodox 1992 GM Ultralite also played a sizable role, and the even-stranger GM Lean Machine three-wheeler gets driven by Snipes.
