I grew up in a family of car enthusiasts; every household had a subscription to Autoweek, and family vacations were often planned around the Formula 1 race taking place during a given week of the summer. Despite my relative disinterest, I still notice when Porsche releases a new model and can't help but watch a beautifully preserved classic car as it drives by. My particular favorites are Fords and Chevrolets from the late 1950s and early 60s; something about their Space Age shapes calls out to the girdled housewife in me!When I dream about my wedding day, I often picture being carried off to the airport in a vintage auto-preferably something cherry red. Tell me, do you get weak in the knees at the thought of a 1940s Rolls Royce, a pickup truck, or maybe a tandem bike for your exit? What's the best mode of transportation to say your goodbye's from?

I adore classy cars also! It just transports you into a different time and makes everything so completely magical.
ReplyDeleteI love a girl that loves classic cars. That one in the photos is stunning. I adore seeing them but not sure I would ever buy one just for kicks. My dad is also a cars aficionado and I love that of him.
ReplyDeletethere is something romantic about a classic car.
ReplyDeleteloved when you wrote "calls out to the girdled housewife in me!"

ReplyDeleteWe opted to sit on the back of our pick-up truck and rid away from our wedding reception sitting on the back! he he!! We are in the south!
We got off half way down the road and got in the cab :) Not as glamorous as this, but still super fun and made for cute pictures!

I have to agree- there is something truly romantic about it!
ReplyDeleteHaha I know absolutely nothing about cars, but I certainly love the one in this photo!
ReplyDeleteI havent thought of this before... how odd considering I have SEVERAL different plans, colors ideas flowers dresses places.... for my wedding lol I left this out.. now I have much to ponder lol
ReplyDeletetruth be told, transportation was at the bottom of my list only because it was quite pricey, but if money were no object I would have loved to have been picked up vintage Aston Martin...very bond, james bond
ReplyDeleteI love classic cars! I would love to be driving around in an old jag over a new anything!
ReplyDeleteWith my reception and ceremony being at the same place, sweet transportation didn't make an appearance, although I always dreamed about it. At the end of the night, when my husband and I were the last two left, we hopped into our Honda and I drove us to our hotel!
I would go for the 1940s Rolls Royce, so classy!
ReplyDeleteI'm a 1960's mercedes kinda gal. My Husband just laughs at me ;)

My mother in-law raced cars and that {I am told} is how my FIL me my MIL. I love the image of this vintage car...taht could very well be your legs sticking out the window! xxooxxoo Happy Weekend!
