    I saw a post that dennis (Mavaholic) posted showing his Sprint in Wedding pics that made me think to start a thread to see how many pics there are of Mav's & Comet's that are decorated for weddings.
    Here are mine: This is the 74 Grabber that I bought new in 74. 302, 3 speed in floor, factory aluminum slots & white letter tires, AC & ps. Wedding date was 2-25-77. Everyone post your wedding Mav or Comet.(y)

    That was my biggest fear was them messing up my car. I went to great planning to make sure that didn't happen. I hid the car & had a buddy drive me to the wedding. They got me anyway.:rolleyes:

    NICE CAR! I love old Maverick pictures, I was going use my 74 Grabber in my wedding, but my wife thought that the exhaust was too loud.

    Mine didn't get decorated. I had the decoy car out front which got the full treatment but I had the Sprint hidden in the neighbor's garage. I made a clean getaway!![​IMG]

    I put the scoop on about 4 months after I bought it.

    Since this came up I had to find our wedding album and look for these pics. Here's mine. Those hubcaps do nothing for the car don't you think? :D I actually had 3 styled steel wheels, it was probably another 4 months before I found a 4th one and put them all on the car. These are probably the only old pics of this car that were ever taken. It was just transportation to me back then, nothing special.
