It’s a 1973-75-ish Plymouth Fury sedan that someone chopped the roof off of. Identifying details are obsured by the paint so I can’t be more definite. I will say that I hope it didn’t drive much faster or farther than a Beer-Bike parade because the roof was part of the body structure. Real convertibles have the frame reinforced. This poor chop job probably had approximately the body rigidity of spaghetti. They could probably open the doors but I wouldn’t bet on closing them again.
Yep, I’m pretty sure that’s Mary — who now, of course, works for Rice in Admissions, I believe, coordinating campus tours and the like. I wonder whether she knows the photo is here. 🙂
Isn’t that a Plymouth Fury?
You made me laugh. Thanks!
I have no idea what it is.

Besides, I am confused. I thought hell hath no Fury. Those girls don’t look all that scorned, however.
I wonder why there is a basket of something (groceries?) behind it in the archway?
Shockingly, it appears to be a pile of those red plastic beer cups.
It’s full of water balloons.
Isn’t the second person from the left Mary Lowery? I am pretty sure that this was prep for Beer Bike 1986 or 1987.
