Wedding Car for Hire - Dearborn, MI

I am getting married on June 3, 2016, in Dearborn, MI. I have been looking for a vintage sedan (I love the 30s and 40s vehicles) for hire. I would need the car between 1-4 p.m., but if someone is available for even one hour - just to take some pictures with the car - that would be fine too. I haven't had any luck finding a vehicle, and was hoping a forum member could do it, or would know of someone who could. I dreamed of the day that I could have my own wedding day picture in a classic car, and now that I could have that chance - finding a car has been impossible.

I can be reached at farahrxemail addresses not permitted. Any info is appreciated. Thank you!

What a wonderful idea!  Someone from our local club region, the Motor City Region of the CLC may be interested in assisting you.  Can't help as I own a 1970 convertible but there are many enthusiasts with cars of your desired era.  Congratulations and best wishes for your wedding day.

I chauffered a wedding a few years ago for one of my wife's co-workers. Although I wasn't crazy about doing it at first it actually turned out to be a lot of fun and I would certainly do it again.

Great picture!  Beautiful weather that day and the car just topped it off.  I'd help with someone's wedding or special event too if they asked.  Any excuse to get the top down and let more people learn about vintage Cadillacs.

Thanks for the support guys! I totally agree - when you own such a gem, why not share your passion, increase interest (and make a few bucks too!  ;)).  I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I'll find someone who shares your sentiments!

I had a couple people inquire about my '66 Eldorado for "Mad Men" themed weddings. The dates never worked out though.

Not to be a kill-joy, but... There can be some concern for the vehicle owners and insurance. If it appears they are hiring out their car they may not be covered under restrictive classic insurance.

That's exactly the case here too Chris. Classic Insurance doesn't cover owner for profit, If the bride tripped out of your car and was injured you would be sued big-time. Some companies will add cover for the day then the IRS starts to look into it. Its become a minefield.  Doing it as a favor is the only way.

Not a kill-joy; I completely understand the insurance point. That's why I said that if the owner of the car would even be willing to just meet somewhere so that we could just have some pictures with the car as a prop (we'd pay him of course, and sign a release of liability, if needed) for an hour - that'd be fine, too.

Best thing is to put the driver on the guest list as a friend and buy some worthless item  from him to cover the cost ;D

But here in the states Hagerty will allow you to hire out four times a year for an additional insurance charge of $25.00 each of four weddings.

That seams very reasonable. And worth the $ if you are considering the chance to rent out your car.and driving services.

I mean to say I could pay $25.00 each time for the four annual weddings but I would be the driver.
