Plans and Information

Horseless Carriage Replicas – Quite possibly the source for purchasing horseless carriage replica vehicle plans, including the CDO. I’m a satisfied customer.
Bob’s Toy Shop – Offered plans for early style gas pumps, a “Youngmobile” (a golf cart-like vehicle somewhat reminiscent of the CDO), and many other unique and interesting things. I’m a satisfied customer. Note: This site is apparently no longer active. The link is to an archived copy on the Wayback Machine.
HCR Builders Group on Groups.io (formerly on Yahoo Groups) – A friendly community of horseless carriage replicas (including the CDO), offering plans, information, and maybe even a little mentoring. I’m a member.
Replica Antique & Vintage Vehicles on Yahoo Groups – Another potentially helpful Yahoo Groups community. I’m not yet a member. Note: This link is no longer active.
Steam Carriages on Yahoo Groups – Another potentially helpful Yahoo Groups community. I’m not yet a member. Note: This link is no longer active.
Oldsmobile Club of America – I’m not yet a member.

Ray’s Alignments – Ray is an “old school” guy who knows old cars. (Well, maybe not this old!) Ray and his staff can handle both antique and modern cars. They are all courteous, professional and very knowledgeable, and I cannot think of anyone I would trust more to work on my antique cars — or my daily drivers. If you need service on any generation of automobile, I highly recommend Ray and his staff. If you’ve got a “real” antique or classic car, consider Ray’s.

The Old Car Shop – I haven’t actually worked with these guys, but they seem friendly and helpful and I will certainly consider working with them on future projects. (Not this one, though, since I don’t think they work with homemade reproductions and I’d be a little embarrassed to even ask.)

Ragtop Appraisals – Brian is knowledgeable, courteous and professional; truly a pleasure to deal with. I had him do appraisals on a couple classic cars and would not hesitate to work with him again.

Code and Reload – If you are need of web services, such as website design or custom programming, get in touch with Bob at Code and Reload. He has done a lot of work for me, and is always a pleasure to deal with.
