STAGECOACH - SOLD!

1860's Concord Style Stagecoach with enclosed trailer and electric winch.

The frame of this stagecoach was discovered on a farm near Greenbush,
Minnesota in 1993.  The owner obtained a set of 1860 plans from the Smithsonian Institute, but the dimensions were too faint to read.  However,  he was able to obtain plans from Wells Fargo (who built seven fiberglass coaches around 1973) and the dimensions matched the original Concord plans.  He was able to refurbish the frame and construct a new top.  The stagecoach was brought to Texas in 1999 and it was stripped down so that it could be repainted with a base to withstand the heat and humidity of Stagecoach, Texas.
 
The exterior curtains, the front and rear boots, the driver's seat, passenger center seat and exterior trim were replaced with leather.  The interior was lined with red velvet and indoor/outdoor carpeting was installed on the floor.  Two 1890 Pullman train candle coach lamps were added to the interior.  The steel bands of the stagecoach wheels have had hard rubber commercially bonded to them so that the stagecoach can travel quietly on paved roads.   The trailer undercarriage was completely reworked in 2007 and new tires were installed. 
 
The stagecoach was used to make a State of Texas Visitor Commercial. 
 
Protected from the elements in an enclosed trailer with an electric winch, it can be loaded and unloaded by one person.  The 4-wheeled coach trailer with remote control winch is 10' 1" tall x 8' 6" wide x 20' x 6" long and features built in hold down ties, straps, and ramp.  The stagecoach is 8' 6" tall x 6' 8" wide x 22' 8" long with tongue.
