Creating Family Memories With Our 1931 Ford Model A
There’s something special about pairing a family photoshoot with a classic car — it adds a sense of nostalgia and personality that you simply can’t create any other way.
At Gabby Lane Classics, we love helping families, couples, and photographers bring that feeling to life with our collection of classic cars available for rent in Gilbert and the surrounding East Valley. This fall, we had the chance to do the same for our own family.
We incorporated our restored 1931 Ford Model A into this year’s photos, and it quickly became one of our favorite sessions to date. Our kids have grown up seeing these cars in the garage and hearing the stories behind them, but bringing the Model A into a moment like this let them experience that history in a much more personal way.

The car photographed beautifully — its deep green exterior and warm brown velvet interior creating the perfect contrast against the tree-lined streets and soft autumn tones of our neighborhood. Even without a desert backdrop, the Model A added a timeless charm and quiet elegance that made the images feel that much more meaningful. This is exactly what we hope families and photographers experience when they rent one of our classic cars for a shoot or special event.
