As a slightly older couple, my (now) wife and I like to keep things simple. During the two years that it took us to assemble a great team of vendors for our May 2023 wedding, we re...ad and signed a lot of lengthy, complicated contracts full of legalistic wording on restrictions, limitations, deposits, payments, penalties, and obligations. Not so with Newport Classic Car Company. Ken Hudson is as straight-forward, honest, and above board as they come.
The common-sense approach was refreshing at a time when the stress of planning our wedding increased by the day. And with a late, unforeseen change that forced us to ask Ken to pick us up one hour earlier, at 7:00am, he didn’t bat an eye. No problem. Good as done.
Behind the wheel of his 1929 Ford Model A Deluxe, Ken’s cool demeanor was abundantly evident when two, not one, but two separate and significant traffic jams threatened us with the possibility that we, the bride and groom, after two years of expending so much time, money, and effort, may not make it to our own wedding.
Not to worry. Ken pressed on, staying positive and explaining that other drivers often quell their aggressions when they encounter a classic automobile. He got us to Glen Manor safely, with time to spare, parking just outside the front entrance so that we – and our guests – could have photos taken throughout the day alongside the pristine vehicle with its elegant Murray Coachwork.
Later, Ken helped us with countless miscellaneous items that needed to be brought home, fitting them with care into the front passenger area of the Ford. The ride home was leisurely, and we decompressed as Ken shared some of his interesting classic car experiences.
Our special day turned out to be everything we hoped for and more, bookended by the pleasure of travel in a delightful automobile from a long gone era. Since the wedding, our family and friends continue telling us how much they enjoyed the day. Thank you, Ken. You got us there in style, and you have our highest recommendation.
