The 1962 Cadillac DeVille & Our Classic Cars

Classic Car Hire Melbourne

A genuine 1962 Cadillac DeVille leads our classic fleet — chauffeur-driven, and ours.

Classic car hire in Melbourne is about one thing: an arrival with character. Ours starts with a genuine, restored 1962 Cadillac DeVille — the long body, the fins and the chrome of real old-school American design — alongside the Rolls Royce Tribute for a formal look and the VW Beetle for something playful. Every classic car comes with a professional chauffeur, and every one is owned and maintained by Mayfair, so the car you book is the car that arrives.

The 1962 Cadillac DeVille

The Cadillac is the headline of our classic fleet and one of the most photographed cars we run. It is a real 1962 DeVille, restored and kept in our own workshop — not a modern car dressed up to look vintage — and it seats the driver plus five, which suits the couple with a parent or a couple of the bridal party. It is booked for wedding arrivals, engagement and anniversary celebrations, vintage-themed events and photo shoots, and because there is only one, it is usually the first classic car to go on a Saturday.

The Rolls Royce Tribute and the VW Beetle

The Rolls Royce Tribute is the understated, formal choice — a stately, classic Rolls look that seats up to nine, so it can carry the couple with part of the bridal party. We name it a tribute because it is styled after a classic Rolls rather than built by Rolls-Royce, and we do not describe our cars as something they are not.

The VW Beetle is the light-hearted classic — a stretched Beetle that seats up to twelve, popular with a bride and bridesmaids, a garden wedding or anyone who simply loves the car.

Vintage wedding car hire

Most of our classic car hire is for weddings. A typical booking is the arrival at the ceremony, a set of photographs with the car at a garden, a heritage facade or a city laneway, and the drive to the reception. Our chauffeurs are used to working around a photographer and keeping to your run sheet. The Cadillac and the Rolls Royce suit a formal wedding; the Beetle suits a relaxed or garden one.

We run vintage wedding cars at venues across Melbourne — Werribee Mansion, Leonda by the Yarra, Rippon Lea Estate, Quat Quatta, the Yarra Valley estates and many more. See wedding car hire in Melbourne for how the whole day runs.

Beyond weddings

Classic cars are not only for weddings. The Cadillac is a favourite for a 40th or 50th anniversary, an engagement, a vintage-themed birthday and photo shoots where the car is part of the picture. The Rolls Royce suits a formal milestone dinner or a debutante ball. Tell us the occasion and we will suggest the car that fits it.

One booking for every car you need

A classic car carries the couple or a small group — so most of our classic car bookings include a second vehicle. The white Hummer or the Signature stretch limousine takes the bridal party, the Mercedes Sprinter shuttles guests, and the G-Wagon is there if part of the party wants something modern. Because the whole fleet is ours, it all runs as one booking with one arrival plan. Browse the full fleet or use Find Your Car to match vehicles to your group.

They are ours

Classic cars are the vehicles most likely to be brokered — an operator advertises a vintage car they do not own and hopes to source one on the day. Ours are in our own workshop and driven by our own chauffeurs. When you book the Cadillac, the Cadillac is what arrives.

Common Questions

What classic cars can I hire in Melbourne?

A genuine 1962 Cadillac DeVille, the Rolls Royce Tribute and the VW Beetle — each with a professional chauffeur, each owned and maintained by Mayfair.

Is the 1962 Cadillac a genuine vintage car?

Yes — it is a genuine 1962 Cadillac DeVille, restored and maintained by Mayfair. The Rolls Royce Tribute is styled after a classic Rolls; we name it as a tribute rather than a genuine Rolls-Royce, because we do not describe our vehicles as something they are not.

How many people fit in the Cadillac?

The Cadillac seats the driver plus five passengers. For a bigger group, pair it with the Rolls Royce Tribute (up to nine), the VW Beetle (up to twelve) or a Hummer for the bridal party, on the same booking.

Can I hire a classic car for something other than a wedding?

Yes — anniversaries, engagements, milestone birthdays, debutante balls, vintage-themed events and photo shoots are all common bookings for our classic cars.

How much does classic car hire cost in Melbourne?

We quote each booking individually because the total depends on the car, the date, the number of hours and the run. You get one clear quote upfront with no hidden fees — send us the date and the occasion and we will come back with availability and a price.

How far in advance should I book a classic car?

For a Saturday in peak season — roughly October to March — three to six months ahead is sensible, and the Cadillac, being one of a kind, goes earliest. Winter and mid-week dates have far more availability.

Will the chauffeur do photos with the car?

Yes — holding for photographs with the car, at the venue or a location you choose, is a standard part of the booking. Your chauffeur coordinates with your photographer on the day.
