Richard and Debbie Hirsch, Austin, Texas
We have collected and built various automobiles since 1979 and now we are retired and enjoying our old cars. We occasionally have one for sale - check out "Our Cars." We attend car cruises and shows and walk regularly with our Alaskan Malamute, Abby. Sadly Abby passed away in 2023 and we decided we could no longer train and exercise a dog of that size at this point in life. Without pets we adopted 2 kitties - George and Gracie. They are super cute, act like dogs and are full of personality.
We are members of the North Texas Oldsmobile Club (since 1989. We enjoy the old cars (especially Oldsmobiles) and the great people associated with them. We have attended several Oldsmobile National events as well as the 100th Anniversary of Oldsmobile in Lansing, Michigan (see story). We had a blast at our 2025 Zone Show in Glen Rose, Texas. We plan to hold it there again in 2026. If you have never visited that city it is at the northern end of the Texas hill country. Lots of beautiful oak trees. The people are friendly and it is known as the Dinosaur Capital of Texas. Lots of dinosaur related history and dinosaur statues. A lovely town.
Hope you enjoy viewing some of our photos.
This we site was started by me in February, 2009 to share our cars and more with anyone interested in looking. Check back to see what has been added since your last visit. We have hundreds of photos that still need to be posted on the site. Some of the cars we have owned will start to appear as the pictures get scanned (photos taken pre digital camera days).
Richard retired from auto sales several years ago and I retired from The University of Texas March 1, 2014. Our focus these days is to downsize. April, 2026 we took our trailer to the New Braunfels Swap Meet. A great swap meet and we like it better than Pate which is a much longer trip.
The stories on these pages are written by me (Debbie) and the stories are written from my viewpoint. Although I don't make as many updates as I had hoped when I retired, life sometimes interrupts our best laid plans.
Thank you for visiting. Comments about the website or inquiries about our cars can be sent to hmcoldstuff@gmail.com.
