What did you drive on your first date?

[victorialynn2]

My boyfriend had a Chevy van and he almost tipped it over coming down a steep and curvy mountain road! 😱 He was going too fast.

Overall, mom’s 1992 Chevrolet Lumina Euro. My first date with my wife, my 1988 S-10 Blazer.  She had a 1988 Grand Am.

My first date was a double date in college with a lovely young lady named Susan, her friend Kathy and a nice guy that Kathy liked. That was in 1978 or 79, I think. We drove my 1970 Chevelle SS 396 with chrome reversed wheels and air shocks. I haven't seen those folks since college...I hope life has treated them well.

[Xander Wildeisen]

I was driving a pair of tennis shoes.

My first date was in my Dad's 1966 Chrysler 300 two door hardtop. It was red with a black vinyl roof and a black interior. I LOVED that car. My first date in my OWN car was in my 1968 Plymouth Road Runner coupe. I had gotten it the day of my date and my Dad actually let me take it out on the date with no insurance, yet! I did very well and did NOT get into trouble THAT night with the car. Days later....well....that is a whole bunch of other stories, mostly about street racing in it. Wish I still had that one....

1956 Oldsmobile 88 (in 1977). First date to impress was using my Dad's Eldorado. Once I made an impression, further dates were in my somewhat worn Olds!

[plymouthcranbrook]

1971 Honda 500 Cycle

[cahartley]

My grandmother's 1961 Ford Falcon.

A friend and his date road along too........  

[nick8086]

What every dad would give keys too.. drive..

 

I never owned any cars at 16..  Not sure if I drove the 1976 dodge dart or not..

[Dave Henderson]

At age 16 I drove my dad's '41 Chevy to impress my first date who lived 2 blocks away, to take her to the movies 5 blocks away.  Her folks would have nothing of it, sensibly making us walk....

[35cz8]

Bought my first car and learned to drive in it when I was 15.  Worked washing dishes at a small restaurant to earn the $40.00 to buy a 1936 Dodge Business cp.  Sure was a fun car but not very handy for a double date LOL.  Great for just my girlfriend and I though.  Lots of great memories from those days.

[Ozstatman]

Not the "first date" but first time I went out with my now wife borrowed my sisters Austin Healey 100/4 in the middle of summer with the heater stuck in the on position! 😰

[36 D2 Coupe]

1964 Chrysler Windsor (Newport in the US) 4dr sedan - ivory with red interior - it was new and Dad must have had a weak moment. I liked it so much that years later I was able to find one almost like it.

[Vintageben]

Well perhaps I’m somewhat kooky in the late 1990’s  I drove my 27 Chev on my first date and I still have her today, the car not the girl.thought about selling it a few years ago but couldn’t we have been through too much together so many great memories

[Tom99]

My first date, in my own car was in July, 1966. I had graduated high school in June. My father cosigned for a car loan for a 1963 Chevrolet Impala

convertible. It was Polomar Red, with black interior and top.

On the way home from the dealership, a girl I went to school with was standing on the curb in front of her house. I stopped to show off my 'new' car.

She was waiting for her 1959 Ford that she just bought, to be delivered.

She like my car, and out of the blue, I asked her to a movie that night. We dated for about a year, then went our separate ways.

We stayed in touch, until she passed away in March, 2016.

Similar to this that I found on the web. Might even be the same car... only noticeable difference is that he had all chrome Cragar rims  without the black back drop.

So who bailed? I hope you were atleast gentlemen enough to not make the ladies bail.  Atleast not on the first date.

Wow those must be pretty rare today.  Did it have the big and little conestoga wagon wheels?   You know it's all about the stance. 

[auburnseeker]

I can't remember which was first but I took a couple of ladies for rides in these.  I guess you could call them first dates,  though I was such a gear head I didn't get past the driving part. 

 

 

I had the Pink 53 Lincoln prior to the 61 Maroon Tbird but that didn't yield any dates either.  

 

When I eventually met my wife and we were dating her first ride in an old car was the Tbird.  That was her favorite.  Of course I sold it on her later to buy a 57 Tbird. 

She later told me the key to getting women to go for a ride is you actually had to stop long enough for them to jump in.  

 

Of course she didn't tell me that secret until after I married her. 

My first real date was with my 97 Chevy 2500 truck.  Took the rest of my dates out in that truck as well until I met my wife that also went on our first date in that. (It was winter so no old cars out)   Of course this was just a dinner date that went no where as it was a  blind date and there was no attraction whatsoever.

Not my first date, but the first date with the girl I eventually married, 1953 Buick.  Second date was with the car in my Avatar.  Still have same car and married to the same girl I met 54 years ago on the 25th of May and married on the 27th of November.  1965 was a wonderful year.
