SPRINGFIELD, MO–(Marketwire – 10/13/09) – Classic Costume Company, Inc. (OTC.BB:CCUC – News), a diversified business-development, marketing and manufacturing corporation, today announces it will expand its product line to include a series of “specialty buses” for commuter, transit, limousine and sightseeing purposes.

CCUC has retained the services of GNS Tech, Inc. (GNS), a specialty bus design and manufacturing consulting firm based in Ozark, MO. GNS representative, Mr. Robert J. Haswell, and his team offer over 24 years of combined expertise in design, construction and sales of specialty buses. Imperial Coach Builders, CCUC’s wholly owned subsidiary, has been contracted to build the buses from the ground-up for the U.S. and Canadian markets.

Mr. Haswell and GNS will utilize designs already listed on the pre-approved “Border Crossing List” for Transport Canada, the Canadian governmental agencies responsible for developing regulations, policies and services regarding transportation.

GNS is also armed with a complete array of testing equipment to ensure compliance with all U.S. Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards as dictated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In addition to its extensive knowledge and manufacturing expertise, GNS brings to Imperial Coach Works close to $2,000,000.00 (two million dollars U.S.) in potential contracts. This revenue stream plus GNS’s extensive industry and operational knowledge will set Imperial Coach Builders well ahead of the curve in terms of its competition and will help catapult Imperial to the top of the specialty coach arena.

“We’ve designed and built a number of different vehicles over the years including several unique limousines and a line of custom hot rods,” said Gary Spaniak, Chief Executive Officer of CCUC, Inc. “Delving into this new product line is a very exciting new chapter for us in the evolution and diversification of our company.”

CCUC is also in the process of developing a 100 percent pure-electric, zero emissions drive-train for all its vehicles. Innovations such as this, coupled with existing successful lines of limousines, fleet-livery and custom vehicles, clearly positions CCUC as a top player and innovator in the custom-vehicle industry. www.electriccarstocks.com

Imperial Coach Builders began its stretch limousine conversions years ago, but the company is about to lead the way with new technology.

“We plan on converting our limousines to full-electric power, which will provide about 100 high-tech manufacturing jobs to the Springfield area,” said Tom Catterson.

And that’s a big deal considering even this company felt the recent economic downturn.

But company higher-ups say making the move to electric, now, is smart for the business.

“The gasoline engine is going to go by the wayside eventually.  It is our belief that pure electric power is going to be the ultimate way to go,” said Catterson.

The new electric engines are also made just up the road in Kansas City by a company called Plug-In Motors.

The first electric engine was put in a Ford Mustang with impressive results.

“It does zero to 60 in just over 5 seconds.  It has more power and more torque than a conventional Mustang engine,” said Catterson.

That makes it ideal for use in limousine manufacturing.

Obviously for someone operating a limousine service, it’s going to be a little more costly up front, but down the line, there are some big savings.

Here the things you have to think about.  You are taking maintenance out of the equation.

Plus, a gas-powered vehicle costs around 25 cents per mile to operate, versus the only 3 cents per mile operating cost of an electric one.

The engines are also expected to last much longer.

“There’s no moving parts in them.  There’s no brushes.  They are pure alternating current electric motors.  So, there is no end of how far they can go,” said Catterson.

It’s estimated the electric engines can run for more than 200 miles on a single night’s charge, and can travel up to 85 miles per hour.

Imperial Coach Builders says it will begin converting the limousines to electric-power in January.

Again, up to 100 new jobs could come as a result of this initiative.

With more than 20 years in the Limousine Industry, Mr. Fielding has built an enviable reputation for success. Tom’s years of experience with several of the industry’s top coach builders includes the last ten years as the sales and marketing force behind Executive Coach Builders (ECB). ECB is ranked as the second largest limousine manufacturer in the world. Mr. Fielding has an in-depth knowledge of not only limousine sales but all facets of the manufacturing process from start to finish.

Lisa Catterson, President of Imperial Coach Works, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of CCUC, Inc., stated, “We look forward to having Tom as a new partner and valuable member of our team.”

Mr. Fielding has been highlighted in industry trade publications for his opinions and expertise. He has dedicated his entire career to understanding and improving the limousine industry. He has a longstanding and mutually beneficial relationship with Ford Motor Company and the Quality Vehicle Manufacturer (QVM) program that goes back over 15 years.

“I’m very excited about the opportunities that lay ahead,” stated Mr. Fielding. “It’s a privilege to be part of this forward-thinking organization.”

Classic Costume Co. Inc. bought Plug-In Motors Inc. for an undisclosed amount.

Kansas City-based Plug-In was founded in February 2007 and has three employees, founder and CEO Kurt Neutgens said Tuesday. The company now is a wholly owned subsidiary of Classic Costume.

Plug-In is a specialty automotive technology company that provides a zero-emission, all-electric vehicle conversion. Neutgens said he is looking for 35,000 square feet for the company to occupy in the Kansas City area. He started the business in his home.

Neutgens had been an engineering manager at Ford Motor Co. (NYSE: F) before he started Plug-In Motors.

Classic Costume (OTCBB: CCUC), based in Springfield, Mo., also recently bought Imperial Coachworks Inc., a limousine and specialty vehicle manufacturer in Springfield.

Classic Costume said in a release that the acquisitions enable it to take advantage of after-market demand for custom vehicles and power trains.
