Our classic cars: A collection of art in motion
When you rent with Cartis, you choose from a selection of exceptional vintage cars, each the work of a great automobile designer. Our classic models reflect the expertise of the '50s and '60s, which excelled both in terms of design and performance.
Each model is unique, standing out both for aesthetics and handling. Climb in and experience the inimitable scent of the luxury leather interior and the irresistible roar of the engine.
When we acquire each vehicle, we call upon renowned experts in classic car maintenance to restore or repair it. These skilled workers endeavor to repair rather than to replace original parts in order to preserve the original patina that constitutes the soul and history of Cartis vehicles.
Our goal is to optimize the overall reliability of each car and preserve its original condition while improving our carbon footprint. For example, we replace the original ignition systems with electronic versions to reduce CO2 emissions.
When you rent a car from the Cartis collection, you experience the automotive art of the '50s and '60s while respecting the environment.
Our classic cars: The art of living of the 1950s and 1960s
The post-WWII period, known in France as the “Thirty Glorious Years,” saw a great surge in creativity with the emergence of new trends in art, music, writing, and visual and automotive design. The models of the Cartis collection correspond with the artistic trends of the '50s and '60s, and they contributed to the image of the eminent individuals who drove and owned them. As symbols of elegance and glamour, they represent a desire for freedom, travel and discovery, and even a touch of lightheartedness in the case of icons such as Brigitte Bardot.
With her tousled hair, minimalist outfits, nonchalant air, wild spirit and rebellious nature—as she was known to stride barefoot into restaurants—, Brigitte Bardot embodied the true art of living of the '50s and '60s.
