Nice. I took our old 300SDL to my senior prom... and junior homecoming. Midnight blue exterior... I washed it and cleaned it up and picked up my date and the other couple, man what a classy car that was. Nice driving too, steering and brakes were great. Handling was stiffer than my W123.
Prom was two years ago... seems way longer than that though!

I took my '85SD to Junior Prom last year.

I'm not going to my Senior Prom this year, girls cost too much money

Way back when I was in high school, I took my dads 240D to most of those fancy events. I ended up going to a lot because I kept dating girls that were in high school even though I wasn't

I took my Mom's 1979 Ford Fairlane station wagon to prom.

It was a very sad car - duct tape holding the seats together.
