The sitcom led the actor to two cars: an engineless 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser, and a 1950s Mercury like what Sylvester Stallone drives in ‘Cobra’

Actor Wilmer Valderrama, 41, in Los Angeles with his 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser. This car was used in the filming of ‘That ‘70s Show,’ in which Mr. Valderrama co-starred from 1998 to 2006.Wilmer Valderrama, 41, an actor living in Los Angeles, on his 1969 Oldsmobile Vista Cruiser and 1951 Mercury, as told to A.J. Baime.

When I was growing up, I gravitated to any TV show or movie that had iconic cars in it. “Knight Rider,” the motorcycles in “CHiPs,” James Bond with the Aston Martins, “Batman” with the Batmobile, “The Dukes of Hazzard.” I loved the way cars actually played characters in these movies and shows. I was really young when I first saw the movie “Cobra.” Sylvester Stallone plays this cop who gets assigned to protect the leading lady. He drove this 1950 Mercury, and there were some amazing stunts. In one, he’s speeding from a bad guy and he pulls a 180, throws the car in reverse, and keeps going while firing a gun out the window. I saw that movie and said: Someday I am going to have that car.

One day, when I was about five years into working on “That ’70s Show,” I was driving through Laurel Canyon on the way to Ventura Boulevard, where we were shooting the show. I saw this electric blue Mercury on the side of the road with a “for sale” sign. I couldn’t believe it. I talked to the guy, and he said he had to unload it. It was a 1951, not a 1950; it’s pretty hard to find a ’50, so I settled for a ’51.

WValderrama If Wilmer ever wants to sell it I'd love to own it and bring it back to Lansing Michigan where it was probably built and I'll rebuild it and add to my car collection

This is almost as cool as owning Baby from Supernatural.

Jesus... It's called a bunch seat

I hated that show

How is this news?

..how else could actually, “cruuuuise the vista'…

Slow news day?

Is now a good time to remind people that he has dated very young girls while he was an adult? Demi Lovato, Mandy Moore, Lindsay Lohan...

Okay, so who would've thought Fez would end up with the Vista Cruiser? I kid, but seriously, it's great to see the car still around over a decade after the show ended. I still love the scene where Red tosses Eric the keys. 'Bitchin'!' 'Eric! Not in front of your mother.'

get it repainted and put an engine in it.

And im sure he’s still practicing pedophilic behaviors so I do not care abt this man

Awesome! Wilmer’s a great guy and I chatted with him a few years back, we had a blast!

Probably uses it for his Uber job.

Hey ajbaime why did you write this article?

Also still maintains one of the biggest coke problems in the industry and there’s a lot of coke

How many chicks you think he’s smashed in that car? Over under I’d say about 15

That is SWEET man 👍

Great, he's still a creep 🙂

Is that what he picks up underaged girls in? 👀

It’s engineless because it runs on water man.

nobody cares!

Wilmer Valderrama is a predator and a creep.

Nice.

A Cobra Mercury.

juliandlv24 he can literally cruise the vista

Why is it engine-less? Because it didn't have one in the show?

Damn he been letting that car sitting outside there's rust and dents all over and he's standing proud to have let that awesome Americana and 70's show staple go to complete crap!

U can literally cruise da vista

CAPTION: WValderrama :

I have never seen a single episode of That '70s Show, but the Vista Cruiser is the station wagon of my childhood and youth, for about 15 years.

My parents had the same car, identical down to the color and paneling.

👍👍 A very good investment on his part. Keep them pristine & he will have a nice nest egg. Smart guy.

Why was this on my feed. No one cares

The amount of pussy that has been slain in that wagon is enough muff to wipe your feet on 🥳

“ I was just hopping down the old bunny trail and this guy offered me 200 dollars for the vista cruiser”

Hennaaydoee
