Classic Car Rental?

jillshollin

I'm getting married in Athens, and my other half is a huge car buff. He has a classic car, but it's not necessarily something I'm comfortable getting in while in a wedding dress! Does anyone know of a company that rents classic cars in the Atlanta/Athens area?

There is the Atlanta Wacky Taxi, and someone else posted a link to a guy that does a Limo or '57 Chevy.  Both of them were going to charge $350 for 5 miles, if that gives you an idea of pricing.

Someone out there was kind enough to take a post we made on Craigslist and spider it out to classic car clubs of which they are members.  My mother just called and asked, "you didn't put a request out for a 1950s car for your wedding, did you?"  I said, "uh yeah....why?"  She said that she was talking to an acquaintance of hers about our wedding, and the woman asked, "are they getting married in Dahlonega?"  My mother said, "uh - actually they are."  The woman said, "we had a 'please help' request in our classic car club newsletter from the president asking if any members would like to help." LOL

Now we have at least two cars to choose from that we know of thus far.  They aren't charging us anything (but we're going to pay them some $$$ anyways) because they just want to show off their car

My FI and I are both car buffs, too.  I like to tell people "sure, I'm named after the car by the same name," but I was named after a dying soap opera patient a doctor fell in love with on General Hospital many decades ago.

There are a couple diferent classic car rental companies in Atlanta.  We are actually renting a '56 white Bentley sedan and we couldn't be more excited. It was about $400 for an hour but I know my fiance will be thrilled when he sees it sittin outside.
