OT What car did you drive on your honeymoon

When I got married long time ago, I just had an old 1941 ford, not very good. I ask my Dad if I could use his car, A 1947 fleetline Chev. He said okay. At our wedding the young boys put tin canes, ribbons and painted My car all up.

When the wedding was all over, My wife and I left in my Dad s car. Dad & Mother had to drive my old car with all that stuff on it. They had A big laugh about it.

My first car. Picked it up on my 17th birthday 42 years ago. 1967 Malibu convertible. Red with white top.

A little over a year later I attempted to teach my bride how to drive in it!
 
A 1964 Chevy Impala coupe with a 283 and 3-speed. It was a mechanically trouble-free car that finally rusted away from Midwest salt, and I had to scrap it in 1984.
 
1965 chevy 327 2 hardtop impala. We got married in 1966 and still together after all these years, with 4 children, 10 grand children and 2 great grand children.

Tim,

1966 must have been a good year. We married in that year and are still together! We also drove a Chevy Impala hardtop, but it was a 1963 year model.
 
1966 chevy impala two door hardtop. It was that silver blue color,and they wrote on it with shaving creme. It bleached the paint and you could faintly read what they wrote for a few months.
 
Still have my Wife 48 yrs this fall and my car 49 yrs this fall....and they are both still beautiful !! 1966 Chevy Super Sport picture taken last summer. My goal is to live another year so I can say I have owned the car for 50 years, Rich

 
1955 Cevy Bel Aire 4-dr. sedan. Car is long gone, but wife still here since 1963. I guess I'll keep her since the depreciation would be too much if I decided to trade her for a newer model. HA!!!!
 
Had a '62 Ford Galaxie, 3 on the tree/with overdrive. Wish I still had that one, car that is, I've still got the woman every since 1967
 
1955 Studebaker Champion Starlite coupe. Ohio to Dover Delaware. Got 27.5 MPG and loaded to the hilt. I was in the Air Force at the time. 1962

Palomar Red Metallic (burgundy) 1964 Impala SS hardtop, 327/300 (originally), 4 speed. By then well over 400 Hp at VERY high RPM. Friends opened the headers at the reception but I made them bolt them back up before leaving.

The car and the wife were the two biggest mistakes of my life - married her and sold it.

What "honeymoon"?..we never went on a honeymoon,..was flat broke when i married.:roll:
We drove to church and the town hall to tie the knot in my old rusty 61 Mercedes 190D, afterwards went to restaurant with the witnesses for a meal and that was that.
Mercedes is long gone,still have the wife, 43 years come August.
 
Billy C ,
Same here 4 months ago lol in a 2008 f350, we just built our
house couldn't bring ourselves to spend 10k on a wedding.
Best 83$ ever...
 
1964 Plymouth Fury 2-door hardtop. 361 with 3 on the tree. Used to be very conservative; should have gotten the Sport Fury with the 383 and four-on-the-floor and kept it. Would be worth more today than the farm. Got the wife on April 4th 1964 and still have her. Just celebrated 50 years together.
 
I had a 1988 chevy pickup, also 4 speed manual. We were traveling several hours on the interstate, wife said she would help drive, even though she couldn"t drive a standard. She did get it geared up to cruise speed, I took a short nap, she woke me up saying the exit was coming up soon, how do you stop? She ended up stepping on the brake until it stalled.
 
1969 Ford Fairlane 500. Trade it in on a 1973 IHC 1210 pickup. Never going to trade in the wife. Working towards 45 years.
 
1973 Pontiac Ventura that I bought in August of 1976 and was married in October 1982. Still have both the car and the wife.
 
First wife and a 1976 Vega GT - Neither one was a keeper.
Second wife and a 1990 Tahoe (Blazer) - Been riding in the same things ever since.
 
'68 IHC 3/4 ton P/U. 304 V8 and 4 speed good for a whopping 10 mpg. But gas was 27 cents, so who cared(!)

Been married 43 years now.....the truck is long gone.
 
1961 VW Beetle, married in 1964. Darn car blew a valve and seized a piston on our homeymoon. Drove from Cheboygan, MI to Alpena with the windows down because of the smoke thru the heater ducts in December. A valve job and one cylinder and piston cost me $350 at a dealer and back on the road the next day. Same wife still putting up with me, be 50 years in December, best decision she ever let me make. Car long gone and good riddance.
 
1969 Roadrunner,383 4 speed. Bought the car brand new in September, paid $2900.00. Got married in December. Sure would love to have that car again. Yes we are still married.
 
Kinda reminded me of an old joke....

Young couple got married and left the church in their horse and buggy. A ways down the road they came to a bridge. Horse stopped and resisted to cross. young lad slapped the reins but horse would not cross. Finally, lad used a quick slap with the whip and the horse crossed the bridge. Lad said "That's "One".

Further down the road, they encountered a creek crossing. Same problem with horse, wouldn't go. It took another slap of the whip to get the horse to cross. Lad said "That's "Two".

Again, further down the road. They came to another bridge and horse stopped and would not cross. Lad tapped the horse on the hind quarters but it would not move. So, Lad pulled out pistol and shot horse dead.

As the horse was laying there dead, the new bride began to berate him about shooting their new horse.

Lad turned to new bride and said............"That's, "One".
 
Married in July of 1966, drove a black Galaxie 500 '62 Ford that came with a 406 4 speed in it, put in a 427 and overrevved it and got a junkyard 352 and installed that and that was our honeymoon car. Still married...
 
Brand new 73 Plymouth Satellite with no air conditioning. Did I ever tell you I'm cheap? Went across Nebraska August 26th when the temp was 103. On a side note, several guys told me to get an air conditioned motel room. Today nearly every motel is air conditioned so that advice is mute anymore. Jim
 
Me too. 63 Impala 2 door hardtop 327 auto. Looked at SS, but chose the Impala. One of the better gas mileage cars I ever owned for performance. Still got wife, but car long gone. Wish I still had car too, if it would be in good condition.
 
I had a first cousin that had a 1969 Hemi Cuda with Torqueflite and a 1970 Dodge Challenger 440 6 Pak convertible (triple black) 4 speed at the same time.

He was a true motor head. He also told me that the Challenger would shut down the Cuda any day of the week.

Hammer House, I had a similar experience, except no cars were "fixed up". One of my best friends got married about four years before me, we hid his 54 Chevy and I drove my 54 Ford to the church and chauffeured them away when the wedding was over. When I got married in 1966 we hid my 64 Impala 327 behind the minister's house and He chauffeured my bride and myself in his 63 Impala. Made several people mad on both occasions because they didn't get to mess up anybody's car. About three years after we were married I bought my wife a nice 62 Chrysler with all the bells and whistles, since my Impala did not have p/s or automatic, and when she got laid off a short while later guess who had to sell his car? Lost her four years ago to cancer. Still miss them both!
 
First time, '63 Dodge 330 slant 6 with no AC. Second time, '83 Dodge K-car. Women were also poor choices. All gone.
 
65 Dodge Coronet 225 slant 6, 3 on tree, no back-up lights or rear seat belts from factory. married in 81, divorced in 85. Scraped the car in 05, I miss that car.
 
Married in a trailer 1981. courthouse torn down between when we made appointment and set date. Cost a whole $18. 3 months later when we both got vac time went camping in a '70 Cutlass. Still have her. Sometimes think I shoulda kept the car.
 
No honeymoon for us either. Got married in the church on Saturday. Neither of us wanted a large wedding, so entertained immediate family at our house after the wedding. Family left Monday morning and we both went back to work on Monday morning.
 
1968 cutlass supreme,2 door hardtop.Married in 1970.Still have the little women but car is long gone!Well..at least i got to keep one of them anyway.

Not going to mention any embarrassing details, like having find a hill to roll start it every time it was parked. Or getting trashed at another friend's wedding the day before I picked her up to leave for our "vacation". We were living in different states at the time, and didn't move in together for another two months.

Still got the lady, be forty years in September, the truck is parked in the fence row behind my sister's house, hasn't moved since 1983.
 
1967 Z28 Camaro, which I still own. Only 206 of 'em built that 1st year, making it one of the rarest and most valuable Camaro's. Still have wife too. She's kind of valuable to me also.
 
'00 Mustang - my first new car. Wife had never driven a stick shift, so I did all the driving. Quickly found out she didn't like going at all fast in the hills and turns of the Black Hills.
 
Bride had a '67 Baccaruda, brakes went bad, locked it up in the garage. Boys got it out, to the Church, decked it out. WE came out of the Church, looked in the car, then we went to my '68 Dodge Power Wagon 3/4T SWB and left. Went to Nashville. One place we stopped, persons wanted to know if we were construction workers on the local Interstate project! Car gone. Still have the First Wife and that 'ole Truck.

Got married in 1967, drove away in my 1960 Volvo 544. Very uncomfortable car for long trips, but lots of fun to drive, car has been gone for 43 years, wife not replaceable.
 
First wife, ambulance....She went into labor AT our wedding, and the kid was ready to come out. (She and my son died in a car wreck later that year.) Second wife, 2 actually. Left the church in 87 Mercury Sable, got rearended not 2 miles from the church. Took ma in laws 67 VW Bug for the rest of the week. I had dropped my truck off at the shop the day before for some warranty work, dad had to drive me to the church. Still have the wife, the Sable was totaled, the VW is at my ma in laws, with a blown engine.
 
This picture was taken in 1953 and we had just returned home. I was in the Army at Ft Bragg NC. I went to jump school at Ft Benning GA. She joined me at Ft Bragg about 6 weeks later.

The car is a 1949 Dodge I bought new, in 1954 we bought a 1954 Plymouth Savoy. The other picture was taken in 1956 about 16 months after I was discharged. Hal

Got married in 2007, Drove a 2003 Ford Super Duty Crew Cab Diesel, Nice truck at the time til the motor went to heck a few years later, dang 6.0! Lots of good memories in that truck though :)
 
Honeymoon was 42years ago this June. Drove a 1970 Ford Bronco, picked up the small camper I had left at a nearby park and spent the week camping. No one except a couple people knew about the camper or where we were going.
 
Younger guy here. Drove our new 96 Camaro RS. Still have the car with 392,000 miles on it. I remember the honeymoon trip to the Smokey Mtns and driving the winding roads in the late afternoon with the t-tops out. Wish the car still looked that good.
 
Got married in January 1972. I had a 1969 Mach 1 Mustang at the time. My soon to be wife had an accident with it 2 days before the wedding. Couldn't be driven because the left front fender was smashed into the tire and wheel. I worked at a Peoria Chevy dealership. The man who owned the dealership had them get a new, in stock, 1972 Impala ready for me to drive on the honeymoon. Was gone a week and they had put the Mach 1 in the body shop. It was nearly finished when we got back. He was a great guy to work for!
 
'69 vette. Married in 1970. Car was hit and wrecked on our honeymoon while parked in Fresno at her aunts by a drunken driver. (not me) Turned out he was Vice president of First National bank of Fresno and tried to escape.

1986 Ford Mustang SVO (Turbo & inter cooled 4 cylinder with out the rev limiter in 4th & 5th gear like the GTs) Just bought the Mustang when I returned from overseas keeping Greece safe for democracy. Then peace broke out so I had to leave the Air Force. Car was the last new car my Mom & Dad bought together. 25 years this fall, still have the car and the wife, Dad is gone.
 
We married in 2008- Drove my '95 Olds acheiva. No where near as cool as most of the cars/trucks you guys had.

Drove my '88 F150 to prom in '03 with her though. Then the next day put a ton of bagged starter fertilizer in the bed and planted corn. Gotta sell that truck this summer. Still has red glitter in the cab from her dress.
