Horseless Carriage Replica Newsletter
Volume 3 Issue 3 Published by Lee Thevenet May - June, 2011 HORSELESS CARRIAGE REPLICA NEWSLETTER A Publication dedicated to the reporting of news, events, articles, photos, items for sale, etc, having to do with replica horseless carriages. Newsletter published six times a year and special issues when needed. From the Editor Hi everyone, Those of you who were not there, are the one’s that missed out on a great time, making new acquaintances and lots of great buys. Yes, I’m speaking about the Pre War Swap Meet that takes place each March in Chickasha, OK. Like every year before, there was a great time had by all that attended. Lots and lots of vendors showing their goods and beautiful cars to be had for the right price. For myself, this year’s trip to the candy store began a good twenty four hours before the meet was to begin, simply to be there when the vendor’s started to arrive. Remember the old saying “The early bird get’s the worm”. In this case, it was true. My quest this year was to find a very special part that would enable me to complete my REO build that has now gone past the completion time allowed to the project. The plans for the carriage had been completed and put up on the website quite a while back and the actual build, for the most part had been done for almost a year now, except for the final steps of painting and reassembly. Thus, the reason for not having any colored pictures on the REO Plans Page of the HCR.com Website. -

President's Message
Published by the Golden Gate Lotus Club www.gglotus.org June 2003 President’s Message by Peter Richen Noni & I went to the Wine Country Classic the other day. Dave and Penny Elsebusch, who race a Lotus 7A (Dave drives, Penny is the mechanic), kindly provided me with a participant’s pass. It was a beautiful day. The Lotus marque was well represented with two 7A’s in the ’55 to ’62 GT & Production Car class; seven 23’s in the ’61 to ’65 Sport Racing Class; a super 7, and an Elan 26R in ’63 to ’66 GT and Produc- tion Cars; twelve 18’s, 20’s, 22’s and 27’s in the ’57 to ’63 Formula Car Class; and nine 11’s and one 15 in the ’55 to ’60 Sport Racing Class. In addition to the racing, there was a large tent devoted to wine tasting and other gourmet items from the Napa and Sonoma area. It cost an extra $15 each to get into the tent, but it went to Rich Kamp and a new Caterham 7, in his new shop charity, and it was worth it to be able to taste and nibble from a scenic area overlooking the course. We also took the opportunity to visit with Rich Kamp at his new shop, June Meeting which is right behind turn 10 (opposite the main grandstand). For those of you Friday, June 20th, 7:30 pm who remember his shop in South City, this new shop in huge in comparison Host: John Zender, aka Fusion Technology (~3000 SF). -
