[Robin (UK)]

Have any of you guys heard about this?

If we all start hiring out our cars at $125 per hour we'll soon be able to afford to put gas in them!!!

Robin;

For us forum members there is no need to pay big bucks for this service. If you go to SanFrancisco And need ground transportation let me know. Last time I was there forum member James Douglas hooked me up in a 57 Caddilac vert. Time before that James treated me to a couple hundred miles in his 47 Desoto. If you come to America I guarantee you can get a classic ride most anywhere. When are you heading this way?

That Plym looks pretty nice. Door panels look pretty original. However, the

seat covers are not original.

[62rebelP23]

well, in all honesty, i'd be reluctant to entrust original wool upholstery to rental risks. that vinyl looks pretty durable and comfortable enough for a ride to the church or party!

I got asked several months ago to take my car to a wedding. A couple I know is getting married and wanted a ride in it to the reception. If I would have known $125/hr was the going rate I would have been much smarter when asked.

[BobT-47P15]

I've used mine for two weddings. This young man has a sister who got

married before him......a couple years ago. I took his sister and husband, then took this couple......

to the reception. They stayed sitting up on

the back all the way -- people honked and waved. They got a big kick

out of it. All nice kids. No charge, of course, as we attend the same

church.

Have carried the Grand Mashall in 3 local Christmas pardes over the years.

Took a couple we know to attend a costume "mystery" party. They

wanted to arrive "fashionably late"......so we did. Pulled up to the

house honking the horn and the guests all came trooping out to see

what was the deal.

My dads convert got some use during my sisters wedding. Thats her and my bro-in-law and Dad getting into the car.

I thought maybe your dad only let people wearing white into his car to be sure they didn't dirty it! One great looking convertible. Eric

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic...

A friend's wedding.

Again, no charge.

[62rebelP23]

beats the heck out of pictures of some nondescript modern car.... who wants to be seen crawling into a new Charger all hunched over like Quasimodo? K T Keller had the right idea. where can i get a real fedora......

[BobT-47P15]

Probably can get a real fedora at a yard sale or a flea market.

Occasionally at re-sale stores like Goodwill, D.A.V. or others.

[Captain Neon]

My dad used to wear a fedora similar to Indiana Jones' when he was outside. I haven't seen it in a while, and I am guessing that it got too stained and smelly and it was thrown away. I don't know where he got it, but I believe he bought it new in the last 20 years.

[Don Coatney]

Fedora hats are available new for as little as fourty eight bucks..

[Howard Tarnoff]

Our daugher's wedding is this Spetember 20th. I had great visions of driving her in my 49 and opening up the cut outs as we approached the venue. I was kicked on it as she opted to have the two of us brought to the ceremony in a horse drawn carriage.

So much for where my little girls head is at about my hobby.

[Allan Faust]

Howard,

You can still do it.... just drive up in it and tell her that you were brought by a carriage drawn by 100-120 horses...

[steveplym]

I've got two daughters too Howard. They are still very young, but I'm hoping to get at least one of them into cars.

Let the prospective groom know of your idea. Maybe he would like your idea a bit better.

[James_Douglas]

Be very careful if you use your car to give someone a ride and take money for it.

In most states you would need to have a comercial license, pee in a cup, and have a written maintance program. If you don't and have any kind of acident, it will get ugly.

In addition, many insurance policies specifically state that the car will not be used in commercial service and they can deny any claims arising out of an aceident when you are using the car for hire.

Best, James
