Classic Car Services
You’re invited to step back into a time when Arriving meant being driven by a professional, polite chauffeur—tuxedo, cap, and white-glove manners included. We study traditional chauffeur etiquette to create an authentic, gracious experience—and our cars reflect the same attention to detail.
- Because this is our full-time craft—supported by an in-house restoration and maintenance team—you can expect everything to be just right.
- Every event includes full commercial insurance for your protection and peace of mind.
- Unlike most vintage cars—many of ours are air conditioned.
With 30+ cars across five regional collections — and 26 years of experience — we serve 12 states with the elegance, comfort, and care your day deserves.
“...The driver was so nice, we felt so safe in the car with him, and truly enjoyed getting to speak with him on the commute to our final destination. Coats Classic Cars takes such great care of their vehicles that it was a very enjoyable ride and experience. We would definitely use them again and couldn't say enough about how wonderful our experience was.” —Tatum & Rob, married at Russell Crossroads
Weddings
A Coats Classic Car is more than transportation — it’s:
- A timeless canvas for your photographer that turns portraits into heirlooms — images that will always be in style.
- A peaceful sanctuary between moments — a calm space to exhale, reflect, and simply be together before the next chapter of your celebration.
- A statement piece for your reception décor — something your guests will admire and enjoy.
- The last memory you’ll leave for your guests as you depart at the end of the evening.
We accept only one wedding per car, per day — yours. Our wedding service includes the car and chauffeur for up to six hours on site — enough time for both your ceremony and reception — and includes up to two complimentary local rides. Additional time or trips can be added as needed. Since your car is already on site, you’re free to use it as a timeless backdrop for daylight photos instead of leaving the dance floor to beat the clock before departure. Your car becomes part of your reception’s ambiance — adorned with satin ribbons, custom florals, and a Just Married sign if you wish. And because the car is yours exclusively, it never arrives late — or with someone else’s confetti, perfume, or footprints.
“...The driver was very nice, and he even allowed a small detour so we could take some romance pictures with the car. Our guests also loved being able to take pictures with the car. I loved the looks/stares and honks we got from other cars while riding to the hotel...” —Paige & Shea, married at Rucker Place in Birmingham
In our local service areas (Birmingham, Huntsville, Jackson, MS, Kansas City, and the Western Carolinas), our chauffeured wedding services typically range from $895–$1,895, depending on the car and service you choose. We can serve any other location in the Southeast or Midwest, but the cost may vary due to travel.
For Parents, Grandparents, or Other Important Guests
Give your VIPs the same comfort you enjoy—Town Car ease, only timeless. We offer a curated selection of secondary classic cars for your parents, grandparents, or other important guests—roomy, comfortable, and air conditioned for a calm, elegant ride. They photograph beautifully, are easy to enter and exit, and typically seat up to four passengers plus the chauffeur. Ask about special pricing for these companion cars.
Anniversaries, Birthdays, Proposals, and Other Special Occasions
Make any occasion a special occasion with a beautiful classic. From birthdays and anniversaries to nights out on the town, arriving in style is part of a perfect evening. And nothing is more romantic than an engagement proposal with a Coats Classic Car. Special-occasion services are offered at an affordable hourly rate.

Photo Shoots, TV & Film, and Event Displays
A Coats Classic Car makes a striking backdrop for engagement, bridal, fashion, advertising, and editorial sessions. Our cars have appeared in magazines and publications; as picture cars in films like Get On Up, Blue Sky, and The Help; and on television with Absolutely Alabama, Antiques Roadshow, Comedy Central, EWTN, Lifetime Network, Pawn Stars, and WWE. Classics are also available as display centerpieces for unforgettable ambiance at galas and special events.
Whether you’re producing a commercial, planning a styled shoot, or creating a brand experience, our collection offers authenticity, presence, and mechanical reliability that make every frame or installation unforgettable.
“You were a lot more than just a guy who showed up with a car, and it was so helpful that you went the extra mile. I've already looked at the footage and the car looks great—it was exactly the right choice for this project.” —Todd Terry, Fantastic Plastic Entertainment Inc., producers of “Keep Alabama Beautiful”
VIP Transportation
We treat every passenger like a VIP—because to us, they all are. That commitment has led clients to select Coats Classic Cars for dignitaries and ambassadors over our 26+ years—including both the Chinese and Belgian Ambassadors to the U.S. Regardless of the individual or occasion, you can depend on a polished, professional experience from curb to curb.
“The person I trust with my VIP dignitaries, always.” —Jennifer Gowers Davis, GoPro Event Solutions
