[Budweiser](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wasted-youth-and-budweiser) has employed a fleet of dreamy vintage cars in New York City in a marketing effort to promote its new beer, the 'Repeal Reserve.'

[Lyft](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puppy-bowls) partnered with [Uber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/when-you-drive-never-drink-1) to promote this beer, in a stunt dubbed 'Bud Vintage Mode,' which serves as an iteration of the brand's 'Give a Damn' campaign, which promotes responsible drinking. During the stunt, a fleet of gorgeous beer-branded vehicles swarmed New York City to offer Lyft users a journey throughout the 1930's.

The historically-inspired beer is a light Budweiser lager that serves as the ninth "unique recipe" beer to receive the Bud logo since the company's inception in 1876. Like most pre-Prohibition brewed beers, this can is stronger than what most consumers of the brand may be used to.
