Reply To: 34 Pierce on ebay, unusual hood?

If you enter the serial number (1080935) into the serial number wizard on this website you will learn that the ventilated hood was introduced at s/n 1080608. It appears that after making this announcement Pierce decided to begin a new s/n range beginning at 1080801. Some of the used car guides of this period reflect 2 distinct s/n ranges as well.

The car on e-bay is one of the very last 836A cars built. I would expect that it originally came with a 1934 style hood versus a 1935 style hood.
