Happy Tuesday, friends! We are so excited for our friends at The Station and want to celebrate them this week as they have their grand opening! The Station is an event venue and classic automobile rental service. The venue has 10,000 square feet of modernly designed industrial space, complete with a catering kitchen and contemporary bar. They're located off of I-55 in Gluckstadt, MS. They also have the coolest and most unique collection of classic automobiles available for rent. We are obsessed with the venue, the cars, and their story and we know that you'll love it too...
Renee and Jim Bowman have found a way to share their passion for collecting beautiful antique cars with the entire community. Available for special events, especially weddings and anniversary celebrations, any car from the Bowman's collection will be sure to add a touch of magic and elegance to any big day. The pair have always worked side by side in the auto industry and their business has always been grounded in a deep appreciation for family. All three of the Bowman children assisted their parents in the daily operations of their small print and auto party store in Virginia. "I think the reason we are so close as a family is because we all had to contribute to and compromise for the sake of the business. Working together became something we wanted to do, not something we had to do. It makes my heart full," smiles Renee.
After selling their business and spending time traveling, the couple decided that it was time for their next venture. Both Jim and Renee have a deep appreciation for the craftsmanship that goes into the production of a classic vehicle. "When you're around cars all the time you begin to appreciate them. I like the outside, the rich colors of paint and the beauty of a wonderful, rich interior. Jim loves the sound of the engine, the concentrated power," says Renee. The Bowman's current collection began after they completed restoration work on a 1968 Ford Mustang Jim's brother, Rick had purchased shortly before his death in 2007. The entire project took a total of seven years and was every bit a labor of love. "Jim absolutely loves that car, it is his, he will never sell it. It truly makes him smile," says Renee.
In addition to providing people with an unforgettable addition to any celebration, the Bowmans thoroughly enjoy the personal connections they make with people who are also passionate about collecting and showing cars. "When you drive an old car people love to tell you stories about one they had, or their dad or uncle drove when they were younger. It makes them smile to revisit those memories. We really do enjoy being able to spark that moment of recollection with our vehicles," smiles Jim. The entire collection is housed in The Station, a 10,000 square foot industrial space elevated by modern design and the backdrop of beautiful cars. Conveniently locate off I-55 North in Gluckstadt, The Station is a unique venue that will assure your next event is unforgettable.
