THE FAMOUS 6 HORSE CONCORD COACH



The Concord Coach is the corner stone logo of our factory. We have sold them to the Wells Fargo bank for their lobby and boardroom as well as to many others.

Built high and wide to handle the rough, rutted roads of a new country, the design of a classic American vehicle was perfected in Concord, New Hampshire. Carriage builder J. Stephens Abbot and master wheelwright Lewis Downing built the famed stagecoaches of Wells Fargo & Co. For more details see:
