Letter From the President
Welcome to the HCCM website and the world of car appreciation. At least that’s the way I see it. I appreciate everything mechanical, I guess that makes me a simple “old boy.” I appreciate the simplicity and variety of the brass era cars. I appreciate the new technology and I appreciate the human factor. There is no drama ever written that could rival the personalities in the automotive field.

Our Mission
The mission of the Horseless Carriage Club of Missouri is simple. We serve only to inform and educate others about this marvelous hobby of the appreciation of older vehicles. We love bringing these fine automobiles back to life and we are excited to share our passion with you!
Our Motto
Our Motto is “Rigs That Run,” and they certainly do. Most of us drive our antique and classic cars and most of these fine automobiles get personal attention under the hood. We are “hands-on” folks and enjoy the pleasure of “getting greasy”.
