Best parade car for homecoming queen and ~150lb boyfriend
Good Evening all,
My wife volunteered me to drive the homecoming queen and her boyfriend in the local parade on Saturday and I am wondering what car would be best for this. I have a 64 convertible but not sure I want them on the deck lid. I also have a 92 convertible and two c3 coupes. I think the 75 coupe is what I am leaning towards using, think it could take the weight the best. Any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

Any car that requires people to sit on the deck lid needs a removable "seat/platform" that goes from one quarterpanel to the other to "spread out" the weight of the passengers. And the person/couple needs instructions on what NOT to do (dropping their behinds down onto the deck lid/etc.)
It's called "Tough Love Instructions" for riding ON a Corvette.

Our Corvette club did this for the local high school a few years ago and did not have any problems with the couples being on the convertible's back hatches. Just have a soft pad or blanket in place to avoid scratches, caution the kids to take it easy and help them get in and out. Looked really cool driving them around the track.

We do not know until next weekend, word on the street is she is the front runner. She has played lacrosse with my daughter (who is a junior) for years and is committing to a FL school in a couple weeks. As you may note from the footwear, her family runs the local rodeo.
