Does anyone know where can i find a vintage carriage from before the 80s? i'm looking for an old one for restoration, conversion, or preservation and I'm not sure where to start looking. Any suggestion is appreciated :)
 
You might want to check estate auctions or regional antique farm equipment sales, those are often overlooked but can turn up real gems. facebook marketplace and craigslist sometimes surprise you too, especially in rural areas. If you're patient and keep an eye out, the right one usually finds its way to you. Good luck with the search
 
Hwy 53 N out of Huntsville AL has a RR car that had once been part of a restaurant, but now it sits off the road a little bit. I don't know who owns it.
 
I'd check out classic car dealerships and antique vehicle auctions. Sometimes local scrapyards or barn finds turn up old carriages too. Or maybe websites like Craigslist and Hemmings can be good spots to browse.
 
Okay, so based on your repones, I figured it's not as impossible as I initially thought, so I'll start digging around. I also spread the word out locally, so something might come up. Thanks
 
There's something truly special about vintage railway carriages — the wooden interiors, leather seating, and brass fittings bring back the golden era of travel . It's not just transportation, it's a journey through time
