The Brief
The short version, start to finish.
- What it shows
- That the platform behind a black car company can run a very different transportation business. Valley Vintage is a made-up Phoenix company that drives couples to and from their weddings in restored cars from the 1920s to the 1950s.
- What we're building
- A site with an art deco look and Sonoran colors: a page for each of the five cars, wedding packages with prices, celebrations beyond weddings, a gallery, the family story, the areas served and an FAQ that answers the Phoenix questions, like heat, monsoon season and how many people fit beside a gown.
- Same platform, new business
- The booking flow starts with the date, shows only the cars free that day and takes a deposit instead of full payment. Airport flight tracking is switched off, add-ons like floral décor and a champagne toast are added, and corporate accounts become planner accounts.
- Status
- Coming soon. The site is still being built, so there's no live link yet. When it launches, the booking flow will run in test mode like the other concept sites.
- Who it's for
- Operators whose business isn't airport runs: wedding cars, classic and specialty fleets, party buses, and anyone who needs deposits, date-based availability and planner accounts more than flight tracking.
