1933 Pierce for sale, not mine….

The description points out a number of functions on the car that are disconnected / non-functional / missing, including, but not limited to reproduction plastic (now hazed) headlight lenses.

It is a lovely P-A (color combo questionable – actually two-tone), but $129.9K is a bunch of $$$ for the car.

I believe that the description indicates the existence of only two (2) of that body style.

Ah yes, Hinckley, Ohio. Sight of the annual buzzard return.

Kind of a Goth version of the sparrows to Capistrano

Stuart,

What is a station Wagon?

I was in Hudson 30 years ago, where were you?

Bill,

Us Californians call the Birds that come back to Capistrano Swallows. They are very messy and build homes out of mud in the eves of our homes.

Back in the ’60’s station wagons were adaptions of sedans that could haul lots of kid’s, Classic Car parts or lumber in air conditioned comfort long distances with a quiet, comfortable ride. In the ’70’s, station wagons were too practical to be cool so they were abandoned in favor of minivans that were also too practical to be cool. In the 80’s a comfortable ride was too gauche and the Eurotrendoids adopted small cars with stiff suspensions, great cornering capability that is never used, and road “feel”(i.e. road shock) apparently so the driver doesn’t need to look at the road. To replace the practicality of the station wagon, large trucks with stiff suspensions were fitted with passenger compartments that provide the bronco-bust’n ride now considered “correct”. The station wagon derided as an oversized “barge” is now dwarfed by these massive passenger trucks. Thank goodness Packard and Pierce-Arrow did not survive only to have their dignity sullied by the need to survive building passenger lorries.

My ’66 Chrysler station wagon has served me reliably for 34 years and hauled lots of lumber and car parts. It has no faux wood and gets 15 mpg highway. Unlike a Suburban I can go to Home Depot and close the tailgate on a 4’x8′ plywood when needed.

Gents,

You left out one important “dinosaur””. My family had an AMC Rambler Wagon and it was a true “”Classic””. I remember because it said it right on the side! I rode everywhere in the cargo area of that thing on a blanket with the family dog. Yes…please don’t tell my kids I survived without a seatbelt.

I had a 67 Plymouth Furry Wagon and a 74 LTD Town and Country I used for my painting vehicles when me and my friends from High School were painting houses. We piled the ladders on the Roof Racks and everything else fit inside rather nicely.

We did have to add Air Shocks to keep them from bottoming out from the weight.
