Bump for the evening crowd..

 

Thanks!

 

Thanks to everyone for all the kind words and for sharing your prom stories and photos. I've really enjoyed reading them.

He wants an old shop truck and since we really need a truck to haul stuff in the family I think its a good idea. Well see.

 

Pretty cool Denise. 14 years ago, my friend and I took our dates to Prom in his Dad's big block powered '34 Ford Sedan. The only problem was he put a hole in the oil pan pulling out of a driveway and we seized the engine about two blocks from the dance. We had to walk in the rain, then load the car on a flatbed in our tuxes once help arrved.

 

I drove my daughter and her date to their 9th grade rec. several years ago. Many of the parents rented the limos for their kids. When we pulled up in the '58 Impala that's in my avatar, most of the photagraphers forgot about taking pictures of the couples as they exited the limos and came right over to photograph me letting the kids out of the Impala.
Very memorable night for my daughter.
Priceless for me.
I'll see if I can find some photos and scan them up.

That movie came up in conversation while we were taking the prom photos. Classic movie for sure. Tessa also brought up the movie "Christine" and the fact that the prom was on Friday the 13th. Good thing nothing tragic happened that night.

Yeah, Alex had taken his car to the parking lot of the prom location earlier in the day. He sure didn't want me picking him up I guess.

Of course he will, in fact he made a comment on the way home about how nice you guys were and everything. Would be fun to hang out with you and Brenda again.

You too are sooooo funny

not a one

Thanks
It funny though, I don't know if its a guy thing or a teenager thing, or just cuz he use to wear braces but I had to keep tapping my teeth with one finger while I had the camera in the other hand cuz he doesn't like to smile showing his teeth. I'm going to mention to him how many friends made a comment on his nice smile maybe that will help.

 

Yikes

I would love to see those photos. Say, are you going to BilletProof on Saturday??

 

Very cool Denise! Brings back some great memories for me, not just of prom, but of being 16/17 years old and cruising around in an old car. Good times for sure!

I picked up my '57 the day of my senior prom, though I didn't take it to prom. We had a stretch Navigator limo, which was cool to party with friends in!

 

I wish I could've scored a cool car for mine.

 

Love both of the Olds! Hope to drive my daughter and her date to Prom next year in the Nash.

 

prom?

 

Very cool, more than one reason for them to remember that special day

 

I need to track down the picture of me and my date. My brother and I drove out 1960 Cadillac to our prom. What a blast thinking back.

 

Let me verify. We are identical twins and both took our dates in the Cadillac. hahaha

 

i took my date to the prom in my old 1969 chevy pickup with a 454. but thats nothing special, i drove it every day anyway hahaha

i have neither the truck or the girl anymore, i do miss the truck though :/
