About this vendor
Coats Classic Cars provides Chauffeured Vintage and Classic Cars for Weddings, Events, Photo Shoots, Displays, and TV & Film in the Southeast and Midwest. We have collections in Alabama, Mississippi, the Carolinas, and Kansas City -- and each collection has the ability to travel to neighboring states. Our fleet includes over 30 classic cars, including Rolls-Royce and Bentley, Jaguar, Classic Convertibles, Vintage Trucks, ‘New York’ Taxis, and more.
A Coats Classic Car is more than just transportation -- it's a timeless canvas for your photographer which will always be in style. It’s a fun part of your reception décor, for your guests to admire and enjoy – and it’s the last memory you'll leave them with, as you depart at the end of the evening. Relax and enjoy your favorite car for up to 8 hours onsite, and up to 3 complimentary local rides. We prefer to only accept one wedding per car, per day -- yours!
We invite you to step back into a time when Arriving meant being driven by your own professional, polite chauffeur -- smartly attired in a classic black tuxedo, chauffeur's cap, and driving gloves. We pride ourselves on studying the bygone methods of chauffeur etiquette, to provide a classy, authentic experience -- and our cars show that same attention to detail. Since we're full-time professionals, backed by our own in-house restoration shop, we have the time and resources to invest in making sure everything is just right. Unlike a part-time hobbyist or "weekend business", all of our vehicles are properly inspected, licensed, and commercially-insured for your protection and safety.

my photographer asked me about going around downtown to take some nighttime romance shots they were very happy to work with us so we could do that. James, our driver, was so nice and wanted to make sure our ride was enjoyable. He didn't just hop on the interstate, he went through some back roads so we could get a full ride out of the car. I highly recommend using Coats Classic Cars and I hope I get to use them in the future.
The owner James is a blast to work with, he let us come out to his garage and sit and even ride around in the cars we were debating between. It was the perfect exit for our wedding...
and Ken our driver was sweet enough to take us the long way through Birmingham so we could drag out our special night that much more. We did two trips from the ceremony to the reception and then leaving for the night. Highly recommend!!!
