Classic Cars and Proms...they go hand in hand don't they
I don't post too much about my one and only nephew Alex. He's 18, just graduating from a very prestigious all boys high school and has been accepted to the University of Michigan. He's a very good kid. So anyway, his senior prom was last weekend and he asked if they could use the Oldsmobiles for backdrops in their photos.
We cruz to his date's home. Her and her whole family including Grandparents were there and very excited to see the cars.  Tessa asked to sit in the drivers seat.....car gal in the making for sure  The plan was for them to travel in the back seat of the '56 to my hood for more photos. Tessa wasn't having any of that, she wanted to ride in the convertible! Hair be damned  Once in my neighboorhood we took more photos

Re: Classic Cars and Prom's...they go hand in hand don't they
My favorite
 Second favorite   They were certainly having fun   Shhh, don't tell Grundy I let him drive Big Olds. First time ever and last time for at least 7 years. Dad and I followed in the '56     They are both great kids and I'm glad I was able to give them a more unique prom experience as they were the only ones that arrived in a classic car that night.  So, anyone else have any prom photos with classic cars to share?

That smile sure is familiar... He's got the coolest aunt ever. It's great to let these old cars keep making history. Way to go.

Re: Classic Cars and Proms...they go hand in hand don't they
They, and the cars, look great! What a good experience, and I'm sure cruising to prom in the convertible sure set the evening off right. You're a pretty cool aunt!
Just wish my prom was worth remembering...

Re: Classic Cars and Proms...they go hand in hand don't they
My Brats prom from last year.
 We were tearing down the spare motor for her car and saw my shop landlord and his son were cleaning and primping the car. They told us that he was taking to his prom that night and that he didnt have a date. This was @ 3:30-4:00, pretty soon the landlord comes over and says would you be mad if Corey asked her to go with him. I look over and shes got grease and oil under fingernails and black spots all over. Hmmmm, yeah that'd be fine with me, I know he's a good kid cause you havent killed him, yet. So Corey comes over and we conversate for a few minutes and then I leave so he can ask her then I ask what time do this affair kick off. Well we wanna meet for supper around 6,,, oh oh boy! Luckily she had a dress from her homecoming. Got her home, cleaned up and off to the prom in fine fashion and on time even. btw, shes 6'1" in those heels, and he's 6'3" another buddy of mine saw the pic and says damn, those 2 are tall enough they lowered the car!

Re: Classic Cars and Proms...they go hand in hand don't they
My prom date and I left our prom early so that we could go to a car show. I had her home by midnight and her dad swears she cried all night!

Re: Classic Cars and Proms...they go hand in hand don't they
No pictures and not exactly my story, but in about '69 my dad borrowed the family car (1926 Model T Touring) to take to his prom. I have to tell his stories once in a while because they're cool and he's too antisocial to tell anyone but us. The stipulation was that his dad made him paint it first. My dad still has the T to this day.
