Vehicle story

The Big Black Buick is a reminder of how the size of your car was an indicator of status in the 70's. The 455 cubic inch engine is certainly not efficient, but it can move you down the highway at modern speeds. The car is a driver in good condition, but it has a few dents and scratches adding to the patina. The red vinyl interior still smells like cars did in the 70's if you remember. This deuce-and-a-quarter is a relic of forgotten times.

This car is perfect for a summer cruise to a drive-in movie, or a country road to enjoy an ice cream at a local dairy. If you are adventurous, you could film your own video in it, like this rock group did: https://youtu.be/vP4JtEHmWC4

Or like this gospel singer did!!: https://youtu.be/6-b7yiRrN4M?si=5G1VUOcKoQFL7rIe

Hope you enjoy cruising in it.

One minor item: When you make a reservation, please be on time. We are not a rental counter with people just standing around waiting for you to arrive. I have to plan my day also.

Surprised my husband with this car for our wedding! He was so happy and the car ride from church to reception was one of my favorite memories of the day! Looked great in photos as well, these are just a few!

Our engagement photos were everything and more, thanks to the addition of Doug’s classic car. Throughout this process, Doug has been so responsive, flexible, and easy to communicate with. It was a pleasure meeting him, and I cannot recommend his rental enough!!

My wife and I rented the car to do a maturity photo shoot and everything was great. Doug the owner was wonderful throughout the whole process and really worked with us. He was very helpful when we picked up the car to show us everything and was very accommodating with drop off and everything in between. Car drove perfectly and didn’t have any issues and the photos turned out great. Would definitely recommend!

Such a beautiful classic! We are so grateful for Doug for being so cool and easy to work with. We used the beautiful car for our wedding portraits and went to McDonalds drive thru after for a quick dinner. Felt like we traveled back in time!

Doug was great and easy to work with! The car was amazing as well!! Very comfortable and just looks cool! I got it as a gift for my dad to drive around for his 65th birthday and he loved it.

Doug and his wife were absolutely amazing and helpful during the booking process. His wife is a life saver! She was so understanding about the stress I was going through for my music video. The car is so gorgeous as well! Book it and you won’t regret it!

Doug was amazing from booking until we dropped the car off! We rented his beautiful car for our engagement photoshoot in New Hope, PA and we couldn't be more excited for how the photos turned out! The car is gorgeous and in amazing condition -- the red interior is so, so cool. Can't recommend this enough!
