I was driving down by the canal in town this afternoon and one of my friends was with her son getting his senior pictures taken. The photographer asked if he could take a few pics. He ended up shooting for five or ten minutes. I don’t know if they’ll use any in the yearbook but he was pretty happy to take his pics with the car.

 

That is pretty neat! They had a great idea!

I hope they use them. What red blooded New Yorker does not like old cars?

 

That young buck just became the coolest kid in his senior class! Let's hope they use them, and that his pics might inspire him to want his own 442 or other ballsy old American car.🤙

 

Cool.

 

Very nice. Are those taken in Seneca Falls?

 

Well, yesterday was "wedding dress selection day" for my youngest daughter. When all of the ladies returned from the...event...I was informed that I would be taking the Nova to the wedding venue for bridal picture day. She wanted to use the Cutlass because of the "T" tops but, it is very white and the Nova is pretty damned red. The wedding chapel is white and will be in the background so the Nova won out.

Paint the Olds in time for the wedding?😃

Yah, I guess a white dress, against a white car, against a white building would kinda wash out.

 

It just hit me what a swipe that was at the City and its inhabitants that hate cars, period, and think everyone should travel by mass transit.😂

 

Nice pics...i can see the debate starting now (among the high schoolers grandpas) “is that an original w36 car?”

 

Nice pics Mike! Got any more? Never enough 68 pix.

 

Given the age of the car...and me...I was expecting Senior CITIZEN pictures.

Nice seeing an Olds pictured with someone who hasn't earned their wrinkles yet.

 

yes. Along the canal

 

it is not but the 442 emblems were correctly relocated for the stripe during the restoration

 

That's what I was thinking, too....LOL! Its a great picture and very likely, a one-off for senior pictures.

Sometimes, the spontaneous pictures are the best.

 

allyolds68, what size tires are on your car? It really has a nice stance.

 

Very likely not a one off. My daughter is a senior as well and she’ll get a few pics taken with this car and our 87 Mustang LX 5.0 5 speed as well

 

I think the fronts are 225-70-15’s on 15x7’s and the rears are 255-60-15’s on 15x8’s

 

Nope, definitely not a one off. I had a very similar story happen to me in May. My buddy with his $100K 1966 427 Vette, his neighbor with a 1940 Ford roadster, and I decided to cruise out the famous Rt. 66 to a pretty park in Washington, MO. When we got there we parked our cars and got out to have a snack and shoot the crap before heading home. Up strolled a mom and daughter, and the mom asked if she could take some pictures of her daughter with one of the cars for a possible Senior picture. We all chimed in, sure! The mom then asked the daughter which car she wanted her picture with, and the daughter immediately responded, "The blue one, I think it's the prettiest." Now I'm sure she didn't even know what kind of car mine was, but she sure knew "pretty" when she saw it. Here's a couple pics of the cars in the park that day!

 

My daughter had her senior pics today. I took this while they were setting up. I’ll post the professional shots in a separate thread later.

 

Nice pics, Mike!!

 

This is mine from many moons ago! I paid for mine so I only ordered 12 of these, along with bunch of the ones that actually went into the yearbook. Everyone wanted the car one! Imagine that.

Surely that will be some memorable times for both that young guy and your daughter... Nice pics....
