Traditional Wedding & Special Event Cars

Imagine it's 1929. Perhaps you're going out to a speakeasy, or a silent film at the Alabama. You'll be chauffeured there in your brand-new Hudson Super Six, the pinnacle of American motoring. Who is that arriving? A movie star? A captain of industry?

Fast forward. It's your wedding day. The Roaring Twenties are over, but the crowd's reaction is still the same. While your guests will say, "I wish we had done that for our wedding", you'll be glad you did...

1951 Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith, Freestone & Webb Touring Limousine - 'Catherine'

Mason's Black with Coral Accents

Rolls-Royce. More than just a name or a brand -- a legend. To say that something is the "Rolls-Royce" of anything means that there is simply nothing better. We proudly introduce you to "Catherine", Flagship of our Fleet -- the Rolls-Royce of Wedding Cars. She's Alabama's rarest -- number 1 of only 11 built. Custom built for an English chemical magnate, her beautiful, spacious light gray leather interior is complete with a division window and a factory sunroof.

Her elegant two-tone paint scheme goes with any decor, and is a perfect contrast to either a tuxedo or a wedding dress.

Just like fine wine and love itself, they're always better with the passing of time -- and what better classic for your Rolls-Royce of Weddings?

Formal Black

Sporting a body style introduced in 1949, our slightly-updated 1952 model is an all-original gem. We purchased this car in October 2011 in Hershey, PA with 47,000 original miles, and drove it nearly 1000 miles home with no major issues -- a testament to the reliability of a well-cared-for antique car. "Jack" is all about classic American style, and is our most popular car with wedding guests!

India Ivory and Shadow Gray

If it were 1955, you might be at a corner drugstore sipping an ice cream soda. Or perhaps at a diner, listening to a new smash hit -- "Rock Around the Clock". Sunday might take you to a baseball game. Maybe you even saw the Dodgers beat the Yankees in the World Series. If you were planning a wedding, you'd be at a Main Street dress shop.

Elizabeth, 1956 Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud

Porcelain White

The most famous of famous cars -- the Rolls-Royce Silver Cloud. In a word, Silver Clouds are timeless -- a World-class touring car with beautifully-crafed lines that only Rolls-Royce can produce. Elvis Presley, John Lennon, and Tony Bennett have all been Cloud owners, along with a host of other famous folks. "Elizabeth" features a lovely Tan leather interior, and is right-hand drive for the full effect!

Alabama's Only Vintage White Rolls-Royce Livery

Old English White (Ivory)

When HM Queen Elizabeth, The Queen Mother selected a new personal car for herself, she chose a sister car to "Caroline". Why? Could she not have had a Rolls-Royce, or a Bentley? Or anything else she wanted?

Sure. But she knew that these beautiful Jaguars have a quality all their own: The perfect marriage of formal English luxury, with a swift, sporty feel. Her cabin is appointed in Rose Red leather and adorned with walnut trim and picnic trays, and topped off by a factory sunroof. It's not being carried off into the sunset on a white horse.... it's better.

Persian White

In 1963, Mechanix Illustrated Magazine tested this, America's largest, quietest, most expensive luxury sedan. Their verdict was well-put: "Even the Rolls is no match for the Imperial in actual comfort, ride, and performance".

When the producers of AMC's hit show "Mad Men" needed an unparalleled status symbol for Don Draper to drive to California, they chose the '64 Imperial.

We invite you to, as well.

Arabian Gray (Silver-Gray)

Classically designed, beautifully elegant, and just a bit... subtle. Timeless and dignified. "Eugen" is a car for those who know what they want, and where they are going. Not only is he a wonderful choice for wedding couples, but he is also a perfect option as a secondary car for parents or other important guests.

Novelty Cars - For Something Even More Unique

Ruby

If you're looking for Americana or a "Muscle Car" for your event, this is for you. Ruby paint, Rallye wheels, White-letter tires, and a big V-8 - The Fury was no slouch amoung 1960s performers - but was built on the full-size Chrysler car platform, with large doors and plenty of legroom. "Christina" is the car that started Coats Classic Cars, December 1998 -- and remains a hit today!

Black Sapphire Metallic

This car is an icon for today's generation of brides and grooms who often grew up with one just like it! This has been in our family since brand new, and although we first never thought about renting it, it was requested for a wedding -- afterward, we put it on our website and have since had numerous requests for it! "The Barge" is painted in a beautiful dark Metallic Sapphire, complete with navy leather interior, has a rearward-facing 3rd row seat, a moon roof, and is air-conditioned. The interior seats up to 8 passengers, plus the driver. This is a hit as much as our Rolls-Royces are!

"...Thank you for everything. The car was wonderful. Chris and I really wanted something nicer than a stretch limo, and you exceeded our expectations. We'll be calling you on our anniversary!..." -Kimberly R., Birmingham

"....Your [Hudson] sedan is just plain gorgeous! I want to tell you how really nice the black/green combination looks-- the way the green frames the windows, the broad beltline stripe. If I recall right '29 was a record year for Hudson, wasn't it? It's no wonder when I look at yours!" -James S., via E-Mail

"....Thank you for making this so easy!" -Kim G., Birmingham

"...Before our reception was even over, all my friends started coming up to me and asking where we found the car, and that it was so neat! My maiden-of-honor will be calling you to book her wedding this summer. Thanks for the great ride!" -Monica P., Birmingham
