I went to several different Proms in 1967, 68, and 69.
In 1968 (the year I graduated) since my Dad managed a New Car dealer, he brought home my favorite car to use for Prom night. A brand new, 68 red on red 390 AMX. (what else?!!??). Looked just like this one.

Spent very little time at the prom, had a quick dinner, and spent the rest of the night cruisin in the X.
Never saw the girl again, but the car made quite an impression on me, and one and half years later I ordered a brand new AMX. Still have that car.

 

Was Squiggy there? Or LaVerne?

 

Was the girl hot?

 

Not that there's anything wrong with that, but are you coming out on the forum doc? That would be a first.
I think you'd better explain this some more.

 

Oh hell ya, FP she looked like a model, She was 5'10" tall Blond and weighed about 125lbs. We even shared the same last name but we weren't related.
She said she had a great time, and I knew I did. She even went to the same school my wife attended, only she was 2 years older than her. Didn.'t meet my wife until 12 years later,and we haven't been apart since then. Except for the 1st. 6 months of this year while she became a flight attendant. But she's home now because I asked her to stay.

 

car wise or girl wise?

girl wise:
5'2" - 98 lbs... by the name of Mandy (5 year girlfriend)

car wise:
a 1985 SL500 amg (imported from germany) - junior year

a 1986 porsche 911 turbo (senior year)

 

For my senior prom in 1990, I had my '87 Camaro (2.8L V6, 5-speed). Black with grey on the bottom. The girl I took wanted to drive it so badly, but she only had her learners permit. I wouldn't let her drive it and the evening went downhill from there.

My prom was in 1968. Took my once new 1967 283 Chevelle which I had completely taken apart and rebuilt (headers, cam, 4brl Holley, cheater slicks etc etc. much to my dad's dismay, I wanted the 396, he said you get the 283) it was a wanna be....... didn't get my 70 1/2 Z-28 til a few years later.

 

4 Proms here. 65 & 66 with my school and 66 & 67 with hers. First 2 Proms drove an ugly 4 door, 6 banger/overdrive, black Ford Galaxy. Last 2 were in a white 66, 2 door hardtop Fairlane. Cars are long gone but the lady still keeps me out of mischief.

 

Took a 1938 black Chevrolet 2 door coupe hot rod with straight pipes and a 350 to my prom. Brakes were horrible, steering was loose, had to stick a wooden block under the wheel when parked so it wouldn't roll away, but in a straight line- what a car!

 

I was TAKEN to my senior prom in my boyfriend's new Jag XJS v12 English Racing Green. Beautiful car but later that night it lived up to the Jag rep & broke down. We ended up at the beach in his other car - a 1992 Chevy Blazer 4x4. That was a very fun night!!

 

She had the boyfriend problem, I had to hide my car, it stuck out like a sore thumb...she didn't want him to find us...because at that age, well the tux would have gotten dirty....lol

 

That's better, the other explanation was a bit ambiguous.

 

Yeah those Jag springs were pretty weak, for going on the dunes that is

 

not the exact car but one just like it. Prom was in 92 and the car was a 90 Eagle premier ES

 

My mom's '82 Buick Skylark. My car at the time was a '72 Triumph TR6. Fun car! I wanted to drive it but my girl did not want mess up the hair.

 

Me and a couple friends rented a Limo Navigator. Very nice.

Except on the way back my friend got sick and I had to give up my seat for him, so I got to sit in the cramped corner seat.

Besides you couldn't really take a car to the prom. You would've been hard pressed to find a parking spot near the hotel (the hotel was on South Beach).
