Yeah, what you said!! I was going to post on that too, but I couldn't get on here!! Man, that's a nice Vista, isn't it? or, should I say wasn't it?? I think thats the first episode where we got to see the car that long. They don't usually have many scenes driving it!! I was practically screaming at Peter... DON'T DO IT!!!!!!

I'm glad Walter remembered where he parked it - it was in storage for 17 years! Walter cracks me up!!! Hopefully it will turn out like most other shows, and the next time they show the car, she will be good as new!!

Yes I agree they could have used any old furd and that would have been fine but no they had to pick an Olds.

I don't do TV dramas so I missed that one.
If it isn't on the cartoon network, speed or history channels forget it.
They filled two badly painted blue gen2 Vista Cruisers with junk as a task on some competition team show deal not too long ago.
The recent Miss March movie was really bad but it did have a Vista Cruiser in it for a while, got impaled by fireman's axes in that one.


All the house painters destroyed the furd wagons so they are rare and hard to find, they loved those things.
The Vista Cruisers were spared because you couldn't stack ladders on the roof as easily as a flat top and they didn't want them, really.

If you followed paint drip and oil drip trails on the road they would always lead to a painter's driveway with a furd wagon parked in it. You could be blind and follow one just from the oil blowby aroma.

What the heck are ya'll talking about?

The only Vista I've ever seen on TV was on The 70's Show. One time Red ate too many brownies and sold it.

That's some weird new show, I guess a cow named Walter drives the car?

I'm "Cruisin' the Vistas" ever day above my avatar pic.

I saw that!!! But did you see Peter opening the door and hitting the cans a couple times before he slid over and got out the drivers side?? I couldn't believe he was doing that! Larry looks over at me and says "that's what we're going to do with your Cutlass"! I just gave him "the look"! At least Peter did take the keys later on.


Jamesbo.... Fringe is a tv show on Thursday nights. They deal with weird biochemistry, disease stuff... hard to explain, but a very good show. Walter is a scientist.... Peter is his son... Olivia is with the FBI "Fringe" unit... the cow is in Walters lab. Walter wanted the cow for some reason... I forget. They don't always show the Olds in every show. It's a purdy car!!!!


Walter is NOT a cow that drives the vista!!! LOL!!!

Sort of a take of the "X Files" but different? (watch out for the guys from the parallel universe) I have been watching since it debuted. And yes stop trashing the Vista Cruiser!!

That's blonde is cousin It's sister staring at the camera.

Why are those people looking at the car?
They've never seen a cow driving before or they appreciate a fine automobile??
Has to be the car.

If cow was riding its Cowasaki and pulling wheelies they probably wouldn't even look twice.

Good luck finding a finished one, nobody in their right mind restores Vista Cruisers.
I'll have my '71 for sale in the Spring, I'll sell it right now If I get a good offer.

There's two differences (it's a gold '71), but Jim Maher is selling his beautiful '71 Vista Cruiser in WI. In fact, it currently wears WI vanity plate HELLO WI. It's a dark gold color 2-seater, and he wants $16,500 firm for it. It appeared in the February 2005 issue of Collectible Automobile magazine, and has won numerous awards.

If anyone's interested, contact me at oldsvistacruiser@yahoo.com for more details!
