The getaway car is the last thing wedding guests see as the happy couple is whisked away into marital bliss. And there are several options to rev up that final impression—modern limos, slick sedans, and vintage classics.
“It is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and a museum-quality vintage limousine helps create a magical and unforgettable experience,” says Eric Bryant, sales and logistics manager for Albemarle Limousine.
1949 Fleetwood Cadillac Limo from Albemarle Limousine
Bryant says his black 1949 Fleetwood might not be the most popular model in the Albemarle portfolio, but it’s certainly the most unique. Only 595 of the Caddys were produced, but a handful are still in working order.
“[The] spacious and elegant limousine has a country music legacy like no other,” he says, referring to its history transporting greats like Patsy Cline, Chet Atkins, Brenda Lee, and Johnny Cash. “It’s a true treasure.”
The ’49 Fleet is air-conditioned and recently renovated, Bryant says, making it as comfortable as it is classy. albemarle limousine.com
Chrysler 300 Luxury Sedan from Camryn Limousine
For cost-conscious wedding planners, a modern corporate sedan delivers comfort and convenience without backbreaking cost. Camryn Limousine offers jet-black Chrysler 300 corporate sedans with professionally trained and licensed, uniformed chauffeurs.
“Getaway sedans really make a lot of sense after you’ve been having a good time at your wedding,” Camryn principal Bill Kerr says. “The last thing you want to worry about is driving home.”
Kerr says sedans are available for as little as $85, depending on the destination. camryn-limo.com
