In 1993, I took a girl to prom in a 58 Bel Aire… she was from a seriously wealthy family. Me? Not so much. When I pulled up in her driveway to see TWO S-class sedans and TWO 7 Series sedans – all four newer models – I breathed a sigh of relief. A Town Car Limo or anything else I could afford from the modern era would’ve been a step down. The Bel Aire, though… her dad drooled over it. Instant win!
The car was a loaner from a friend, and quite a bit more impressive than my diesel Jetta!
