About Us

Steve Hammatt, on the road while returning from Hershey 2016.

Steve Hammatt, on the road while returning from Hershey 2016.

We live in the beautiful Skagit Valley located mid-way between Seattle and Vancouver B.C., in the northwest corner of Washington State (USA). During the past two plus decades my life-long interest in things automotive has coalesced around the early days of the automobile’s history, specifically the time period when “get a horse” was an actual option for daily transportation. Currently our earliest cars include a well-toured 1914 Overland 79T and a 1916 Overland Touring.

Besides our own cars and of course this very website, I also manage two different mailing lists with a total membership of over eight hundred:  BrassBuicks All about early, pre-1916 Buicks.  Early Cadillac Group Based on all copper-cylinder Cadillacs (1903-1914).

SHOW DATES
We attend two national swap meets every year.
CHICKASHA SWAP MEET (March 18-19, 2022)
TULARE SWAP MEET (April 23-24, 2022)

If you’re coming to a swap meet and plan ahead, we can fabricate your plate(s) and bring them to a swap meet for personal delivery, saving the shipping costs. Plan to stop by and see examples of plates we’ve made or to just say “Hello”. We also try to attend a number of HCCA tour related events during the year. We hope to meet you sometime soon.
