We’re pleased to introduce Jon, one of DRIVESHARE’s standout pro owners. Based in Garland, Texas, Jon has a collection of carefully curated 1960s classic cars, and he’s made them available on DRIVESHARE for events, photoshoots, and chauffeured drives. We had the chance to sit down with Jon to learn more about his journey as a car enthusiast and pro owner.
How did you first get into classic cars?
My interest in classic cars began in the late 1950s when I was a kid. My dad and I would have fun pointing out the makes of cars with outlandish tail fins. This really ignited my love for vintage vehicles, and it’s something I’ve carried with me ever since.
Can you tell us about your cars and what makes them special?
I currently have three classic cars listed on DRIVESHARE:
1962 Ford Thunderbird (Sky Mist Blue)
This car is in immaculate condition with just 27,000 miles. It’s a beauty, equipped with air conditioning, and perfect for photo shoots or events. I offer it for chauffeured drives only, as it’s not available for self-driving unless in a very controlled situation.
1962 Dodge Dart (The Green Goblin)
I call this car The Green Goblin because of its vibrant color and bold personality. It’s a 318ci V8 with Cragar SS mags and a push-button automatic transmission. It’s available for photo shoots and chauffeured events, but again, not for self-driving unless under strict conditions.
1965 Ford Thunderbird (White with Red Interior)
This T-Bird is in excellent condition, with a white exterior and red interior. Like my other cars, it’s available for photo shoots and events, and I offer chauffeured drives.
How did you come to list your cars with DRIVESHARE?
I was looking for a platform to list my cars and came across DRIVESHARE through an online search. I liked how easy it was to use and how focused the platform was on connecting classic car enthusiasts. It seemed like a perfect fit, and I’ve been very happy with how it's all gone so far.
What has your experience been like as a DRIVESHARE owner?
I’ve enjoyed all my bookings with DRIVESHARE. You really meet the nicest people when your car is booked for their events. It’s also been a great way to discover new places I hadn’t seen before. The platform is user-friendly, and I’ve had no trouble managing my listings and approving bookings.
What advice would you give to other car owners thinking about listing their vehicles with DRIVESHARE?
My advice would be to take great care of your cars and ensure they’re in top condition. Being an owner on DRIVESHARE means offering vehicles that will create a memorable experience for renters. If you’re passionate about classic cars and want to share that with others, DRIVESHARE is a great way to do it.
What’s next for you and your cars?
I’m always looking for new ways to share my cars with the community. As we approach the new year, I plan to make sure everything is in perfect shape and ready for any upcoming events. I’m excited to see what opportunities come next.
