Creating a car object for chauffer website

I am creating a chauffeur website and for the page that has the cars on it I am thinking that I should make a car class with a car object in it and then if the admin wants to add a car they simply just plug in the values. Is this the correct way to go about? Would I also be able to use a picture as an attribute? I have been getting a little confused about how to go about it so far. My initial thought was to create a div with a picture in it and some text along side it explaining about the car and a button to redirect to the booking page. However I thought this would be repeating itself, and not following the D.R.Y way of programming. Any suggestions on how to go about this?

What are you trying to accomplish? What I mean by that is, for now not how to, but what do you want the page to do? I Is what you want a page of cars that people can click on and be redirected to a booking page?

Thank you for the reply.

Essentially yes, that is what I want it to do in the end. But for now I am just trying to create (in a mobile first view) a page that consists of a list of cars with some description of the car and then a button that links it to a booking page. At the moment I have done this

I plan to add media queries later on so that I can make the list float right of the car image when the site is in a bigger screen resolution.

Okay, it sounds like to me all you need to do is use an img and a unordered list nested inside of a div. I don't think you need an JS object for this. why do you want to go that route?

Thanks, that is what I have done originally will stick with that. I thought maybe using a object would be better to maintain later on when adding new cars.
