Stage Coach
About This Machine
The Stage Coach pinball machine, designed by Wayne Neyens with art by Roy Parker, was manufactured by D. Gottlieb & Company in November 1954. It is a single-player electromechanical (EM) game built around an American West theme, a departure from the more common pin-up or sports themes of the era. 650 units were confirmed produced.
Gameplay on Stage Coach is engaging and challenging, with 2 flippers and 3 pop bumpers providing a dynamic experience for players. The addition of 5 passive bumpers, 2 slingshots, 2 standup targets, and 5 gobble holes adds to the machine's complexity and variety.
The Stage Coach's design features artwork depicting scenes of the Wild West befitting its theme, complete with cowboy and frontier imagery. With a modest confirmed production run of 650 units, Stage Coach is a relatively scarce entry in Gottlieb's mid-1950s lineup, offering collectors a glimpse into the company's Western-themed output of the period.
