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”.

St. Louis Auto Show

Automobiles are intended to provide personal transportation but as time progresses, some cars develop a special aura that makes them Super Keepers: Variety. Prime examples are slated for exhibit at the St. Louis Auto Show, January  2025, at America’s Center and The Dome, 701 Convention Plaza.

Pre-War Car Show

Join us for a leisurely Sunday in October at the Museum of Transportation as we proudly present the Pre-War Car Show. This year, the event expands its allure by showcasing not only the classic Brass and Nickel cars but also an exciting array of Pre-War Classics. With a limitation of 80 cars due to space constraints at the upper parking lot of MOT, the show ensures an intimate and curated display, guaranteeing a diverse yet exclusive collection for everyone to relish.
