    Eric — we are all VERY happy that you got that ’37. Greg and I looked at it just before the meet. I thought I might be interested but decided it was more than I wanted to get into. You are the perfect man for that car.

    I’ve no doubt that you will get it running right and well very shortly.

    Thanks for coming to the meet.

    So glad to have you in the PAS.

    Looks Great! Beautiful car! I was hoping for the debut of my car at Angola but that didn’t happen. Still hoping for Gilmore this year. Doing the paint next year, but it should be mechanically perfect.

    You have a big smile on you face……..as you should. Great car. Enjoy the journey, take your time, do it right. The mighty Pierce twelve can be a handful to sort properly. Enjoy!

    Eric,

    Congratulations!

    i know that you will be in touch with the other PAS members with experience on getting your 1701 rolling along as a Pierce-Arrow Twelve should.

    Remember that it will pass anything on the road, that is, EXCEPT a gas station.

    This is a Great Group for advice, and remember to ask a few the same question and then sort out the answers offered.

    Eric is a quick study, I’m sure he’ll be a v12 expert soon. Congrats to him on getting this special car!

    I think this is going to be a rude awakening my frankinpierce gets a cool 27 to 30 mpg at a crushing speed between 75 & 80

    this car will out run any prewar Packard or Cadillac on the freeway. But in doing so, you will not pass too many gas stations!!!
