Looking for a classic car instead of Rolls

My finance and I would like to have a classic car such as 57' Chevy instead of a Rolls. I just think that so many brides use the Rolls. We want something a bit different. Any suggestions, any advise would be really helpful.

Looking for a classic car instead of Rolls

Try Empire State Limousine and Coach Service. I haven't used them, but they do have classic cars. Check out their website: www.empirestatelimousine.com

Just something to keep in mind...

with regard to a classic car...I think it's a nice idea to have something different, but still might not be right for you. However, instead of not having a Rolls just b/c so many others do (that sounds snobby - sorry, just my opinion), consider how easy the Chevy will be to get in and out of with your bridal gown on your wedding day. I know from my own experience, the Rolls is much easier to navigate with a wedding gown, even compared with a standard limosine (which is very low). You might try Royalty Limo, I think they may have some classic cars. Good luck.

THANKS

Thanks alot for the info. Kathy- Do you know where they got the car from? I would love the info. Thanks. And to anyone that is offended this inquiry was never meant to offend anyone. I like that Rolls are very nice and look great in photos. I am just trying to do something a bit different. I don't think I sounded snobby but if anyone else did I am sorry.

I guess it was just the way you said it .. no insult taken. Just the way you came across. Anyway, I meant to add to my earlier post - Classic Trans offers a '47 Cadillac that's really neat. You might look at that as an option. Good luck.

Using our own car

since our ceremony and reception is in the same place there is no need for transportation...instead we will drive off in our new Saab Viggen Convert...We both love it and we save a *little* bit of money :)

Yabbobay - great idea

My friends had a Volkswagon Bug when the news ones first came out. They had a JUST MARRIED sign on it and drove off in it. It looked great in photos too.
