Classic Motor Carriages (CMC) was an American manufacturer of automotive kits based in Miami, Florida, operational from 1973 until 1996. The company specialized in producing a diverse range of kit cars, which allowed enthusiasts to build their own vehicles using various donor cars. CMC was known for its replicas of classic models, including the Cobra, Porsche Speedster, and Bugatti, as well as classic American cars like the 1933 Ford Victoria and the 1934 Ford.

Among CMC's notable offerings was the Gazelle, a kit car that was based on the Volkswagen Beetle or Ford Pinto chassis and featured design elements reminiscent of Mercedes-Benz models. The Gazelle became one of the best-selling kit cars of its time, appealing to a wide audience due to its affordability and classic styling. The company also produced a line of neoclassics, which included models such as the Tiffany and Royale.

In a strategic move to expand its product line, CMC acquired the well-known kit car manufacturer FIBERFAB, further diversifying its offerings. However, the company faced legal challenges and ultimately ceased operations in 1996, following intervention by the state authorities in Florida.
