Premise

The main characters were Diego, Adrián and Fabian, three distant cousins who dd not know each other, until they received a common heritage from their grandfather: an old '57 yellow Oldsmobile Golden Rocket 88, dubbed as the "Golden Rocket". The three cousins began the work of maintaining the car, and had romantic affairs. [1]

Impact on the actors

Although the main characters are named after the actors playing them (Diego Torres, Adrián Suar and Fabián Vena), they were not starring as themselves; in fact, they were novice actors by then. [2] Even so, Diego Torres had some roles as a singer within the plot, and became a successful professional singer after the ending of the series. [1] Similarly, the character Adrián had a romance within the series with "Pato", a character played by Araceli Gonzalez. Suar and González had a real romance afterwards, and got married. [1]

Torres, Suar and Vena reunited in 2011 for some episodes of Los únicos . They did not play again their former characters, Suar and Vena were already recurring guest actors, and Torres was invited as well. [3] Nevertheless, they made metafictional references to the old series, mainly the use of a similar car. [3] The car, however, is not the same physical car used twenty years before, but a similar one, as the owner refused to give or rent the car. [3]
