The 1920 Buick Sport Tourer was a favourite getaway car of the gangster Al Capone. This model is a 4 Litre built in Canada in the 1919 for export to Australia. It was ordered by an alleged Mafia gangster, ‘Lucky’ Lucchiano as a wedding present for his daughter in June 1921.

Being a convertible, the roof can be fully lowered to give a completely open car, or the roof and side windows left in place to give protection when traveling. Having been built in 1919, it is probably the oldest car used for weddings in Ireland. The Buick is blue over ivory with wooden spoked wheels and black wings, the interior is in blue leather. The car comes with silk ribbons and flowers on the day.

The Dodge Brothers Supreme was built in Detroit in 1925 and was considered to be one of the finest cars of its era. The MGM Film Studios originally used this car as a VIP transport on their film sets in Burbank, California. It was only used on the public roads in 1931 when it was sold to a private buyer.

The Dodge Brothers is a 4-liter, 8 cylinder, 4-door saloon. Its large engine size ensures it will keep up with modern traffic. The car has been rebuilt over the past few years and features a fully refurbished interior and the exterior has been restored to its original colour scheme. The seats are finished in a grey cloth with matching carpets. The exterior is in royal blue with silver highlights. The Art Deco style of the 1920’s is very much in evidence with chrome details, design features and wooden spoked wheels. The Dodge Brothers has excellent performance, comfortable to travel in and has wide rear doors to allow for a dignified entry and exit. In keeping with our aim to provide unique and exclusive cars, the Dodge Brothers is the only one of its type in Ireland. The car comes with silk ribbons and flowers on the day.

The Packard Presidential is the Jewel in our Crown. The epitome of 1930’s styling, it is an exceptionally rare car, being one of only twenty-one known to exist.

This particular car was owned by Buster Keaton, a famous comedy actor of the silent movies. It also featured in the Stephen Spielberg film “Empire of the Sun”. Other owners of Packard’s included Stalin, President Roosevelt and many Hollywood movie stars.

A stunningly beautiful and stately car, the Presidential is 18 feet long and over 6 feet high with an 8 cylinder 5.5 Litre engine. The rear doors are exceptionally wide allowing the bride to enter and exit the car without difficulty. The colour scheme is coffee over bronze with whitewall tyres. The interior is finished in a stone coloured fabric which will not mark wedding dresses and the car is exceptionally comfortable to travel in. The car comes with silk ribbons and flowers on the day.
