Film WI: "Back To The Future" Stuck With The Original Concepts?

There would be a cult following of tricked-out [insert model name here] refrigerators instead of DeLoreans, though the DeLorean would still have its own following.

I somehow doubt refrigerators have the same cool factor as cars, enough to give them a cult following. Their 'cool factor' is of an all-too-literal kind...

Refrigerators might make things a little too cheesy and silly- not that that's below par for some movies of that time period.
 
Bill and Ted use a 1969 Chevy Van instead of a Phone booth

Might not work as well, as I suppose the phone booth could be parodying Doctor Who's TARDIS i.e. does the job, just isn't bigger on the inside than the outside, allowing for the comedic possibilities afforded by squeezing that many people in there. Vans just don't have the same parallel.

Whether there were any intentional Doctor Who parallels I cannot tell.
 
having the ending of the first film consist of the Doctor using the knowledge of the future and all those fancy gadgets Marty left (hair dryer, for example) to alter history so that when Marty returns to 1985, he finds the 1950's "World of Tomorrow" with jet packs and hover cars and all that
Wow! this is a real happy end!
