The cast of Beverly Hills 90210 was known for their luxurious lifestyles, and that included driving some pretty impressive cars.
The show’s producers put a lot of thought into choosing the right vehicles to fit each character’s personality. Let’s revisit the vehicles and their drivers!
Kelly Taylor’s classic Mustang. Kelly Taylor’s classic Mustang is a car that has been around for over 50 years and is still going strong. It was originally purchased by Kelly in 1967 when she was 19, just after graduating from high school. She kept the car until her death in 1997 at age 57, and it remains with the family to this day. The Mustang features a 5-speed manual transmission, original leather seats, chrome bumpers, rally wheels, and wide whitewall tires. Since Kelly passed away, the car has stayed with her daughter, who takes great pride in keeping it running while honoring its history. The classic Mustang also serves as a reminder of how much times have changed since Kelly bought it more than fifty years ago. Not only are there newer models available, but many of them feature amenities like built-in navigation systems and other technologies that were unimaginable back then! Despite all these advancements though, one thing hasn’t changed: people’s love for old classics like this one – something which will hopefully remain intact for generations to come!
Dylan McKay’s sleek Ferrari Testarossa. Dylan McKay’s Ferrari Testarossa was one of the most iconic cars of 1990s television. The sleek, all-black sports car made its debut in the teen drama series Beverly Hills 90210 and has since become a symbol of coolness and sophistication for fans around the world. The original owner of Dylan’s Testarossa was none other than actor Luke Perry, who played the heartthrob onscreen. Perry reportedly purchased it in 1991 after production wrapped on season two and drove it until 1997, when he sold it to raise money for his charitable foundation. After that, there have been numerous owners over the years with varying degrees of success keeping up with maintenance costs associated with owning such an expensive vehicle. Today, there is only a handful remaining throughout North America, but luckily one can still be seen driving around Los Angeles from time to time.
Shannen Doherty (who played Brenda Walsh) drove one of the most iconic cars in the series – a black 1969 Ford Mustang Convertible. The car was originally black but has been repainted a deep red-orange color with white racing stripes to add some flare. Doherty bought the car when she first moved to Los Angeles from Memphis, Tennessee, at just 18 years old. Since then, the classic muscle car has become one of her most prized possessions – it’s even featured on the cover of Car & Driver magazine! Doherty admits that this car reminds her why it’s important to stay humble and remember your roots no matter how successful you may be. The custom interior features orange leather seats and matching door panels along with chrome accents throughout the entire vehicle, which adds an extra touch of classiness without taking away from its original design features. It also comes equipped with power windows, air conditioning, and an upgraded audio system complete with Bluetooth connectivity. Aside from looking impressive, this Mustang convertible is powered by a 5L V8 engine producing 300 horsepower, which makes it both fast and reliable enough for all kinds of journeys, whether short or long distances are involved.
Jason Priestly (Brandon Walsh) owned multiple sports cars, including a yellow Corvette Stingray C3 from the 1973–1974 model year. Still, perhaps his favorite ride was his white Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet which he purchased shortly before production began on Season 4. This sleek convertible became synonymous with Brandon as he drove around town solving mysteries or attending parties with friends like Andrea Zuckermann.
Ian Ziering (Steve Sanders ) didn’t own any real muscle cars during shooting but instead opted for something more sensible: a 1993 Honda Civic Coupe Dx hatchback edition painted silver metallic grey color scheme – nicknamed “the Silver Bullet.” Steve used this economical yet stylish ride mainly when going out partying & clubbing at nighttime escapades.
It is interesting to note how cars often reflect someone’s personality. When you’re looking for a car, remember that buying a car is an investment. And if you’re going to invest in something, it should fit your personality. Take the time to determine if the cars you’re looking to purchase are vehicles that accurately represent who you are as a person, and you’ll know if the answer is yes or no when you ask yourself that question.
