South East Custom Classics - Car Hire Waterford

About

Hi! Welcome to S.E.C.C. We are South East Custom Classics the home of classic American cars here in Waterford City. Established in 2022, two good friends with a passion for cars decided to bring this love to a wider audience, with the hope of making somebody's day that little bit better!

Introducing the legend himself, Jim Delandre. Other than his daughter Hayley, the Cadillac has been the love of his life for the last 4 years. Jim has brought so many smiles to so many people by taking everyone and their mother on a trip in the car. 

There is nothing that makes him happier than seeing the joy on people's faces as he pulls up to bring them for a spin. Whether he's bringing you for a quick drive out to Dunmore east, chauffeuring you to a special event/party or driving you to the church on your big day, you can be sure he will crack some jokes and make sure you have the time of your life.

Last but certainly not least, we have Niall Griffin, the newest member of the S.E.C.C. with his 1963 Chrysler Imperial Presidential. A friend of everyone, he is known for his selflessness and kindness, as they say, "He'd do anything for ya."

The perfect addition to South East Custom Classics, Niall looks forward to making that spin to your special event or big day that little bit more amazing by going totally above and beyond.

Interesting facts about Classic Cars:

The first full-scale, self-propelled mechanical vehicle was released in 1769. It was a steam-powered tricycle that was used to haul cannons around town. (But, it weighed 8,000 pounds!)

The Benz Patent-Motorwagen is believed to be the first modern automobile. German inventor Carl Benz applied for the patent in 1886, and later, his wife took it on the first-ever, long-distance drive.

In 1913, the Ford Model T became the first mass-produced automobile. Three years later, 55 percent of all cars in the world were Model Ts, which is a record yet to be broken.

The 1964 Pontiac GTO is widely regarded as the first “muscle car.” Pontiac owned the muscle scene in the early 1960s, but by 1968, that car had plenty of competition.

The Ford Mustang also made its debut in 1964. It was officially unveiled at the World’s Fair in Flushing Meadows, New York. That same day, the car also debuted in showrooms across America, and close to 22,000 Mustangs were purchased.

The first Chevrolet Camaro to ever come off the production line was black. And originally, the Camaro was going to be called the Panther.

The 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona was banned by NASCAR. The car was named for the Daytona 500, and with its record-breaking speed, it won the first race it was entered in. Unfortunately, however, it was just too fast to last.

Pontiac’s “The Judge” (a 1969 GTO) was named after a TV show skit. At the time, John DeLorean was the man in charge, and he chose to name the car after a show he watched and liked: “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In.”

“The Judge” was also featured in what’s considered the first-ever rock music video. In the original TV commercial for this car, Paul Revere and the Raiders sang a song they wrote about it.

More interesting facts about Classic Cars:

The original “Dukes of Hazzard” show featured a total of 309 Dodge Chargers – all 1969 editions. How can you tell a 1969 Charger from a 1968? Look for the split grille on the front of the ’69 model.

A 1977 Pontiac Trans Am starred in the movie “Smokey and the Bandit.” Four were provided for the movie – all of which were badly damaged during production.

Each member of The Monkees was given a new Pontiac GTO. As part of their contract, everyone on the hit TV show got a hot car for personal use.

Flip-out headlights on the Dodge Charger were used for the last time in 1973. Apparently, they didn’t seem very family friendly.

There is no 1983 Chevrolet Corvette. Instead, Chevy skipped a year and introduced an all-new model in 1984. However, there were prototypes of the car, and all but one was destroyed. It now lives in the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Only 11 prototypes of the Porsche 916 exist. It’s one of the rarest cars in the world, as it was soon replaced by the less expensive Porsche 911.

Chrysler’s 426 HEMI engine was called “the elephant.” It was extremely large and extremely powerful. In fact, at Daytona in 1964, the vehicles that placed first, second and third all had this engine – which is why NASCAR would eventually change its engine-related rules.

The most expensive car ever sold at a public auction was a 1954 Mercedes-Benz W196R Formula 1 race-car. In 2013, it went for a staggering $30 million.
