The tradition of covering your wedding car with flowers and regalia is not new in Vietnam.
Today, most couples who can afford it, opt for a middle-of-the-line Toyota or Kia while those with deep pockets enjoy the luxury of a BMW or Mercedes.
But 1970 Saigonese knew how to arrive to a wedding in style, rolling up in a red 1958 Mercury Turnpike Cruiser.
God only knows where the rusted shell of this car is now...perhaps in a scrap heap somewhere in Biên Hòa.
