The Horseless Carriage Club of America, El Dorado Regional Group presents an automotive collection representing the dawn of the age of the automobile industry.  These vehicles were called Horseless Carriages as they were capable of transporting people and freight faster and longer distances without the need of a horse to pull them.  A Horseless Carriage is defined as any pioneer gas, steam and electric motor vehicle built or manufactured prior to January 1, 1916.  This unique period of history covers the turn of the century to the end of carriage coachwork, gas lights, hand cranking and profuse use of brass.    For the most part, only the wealthy owned horseless carriages during this pre 1916 era and ownership required a pioneering spirit, inventiveness and superior mechanical ability to keep these early automobiles functioning. Come meet the owners in Building A and learn about this incredible rolling history display.  For more information click on www.hcca.org.
