I agree about keeping a Pierce as original as possible since the cars are pieces of history that should be preserved.

For more modern cars like my ’64 doing some mods are fine with me as long as everything can be returned to stock with minimal effort.

I plan on keeping my Pierce as original as possible for as long as possible since it is a true survivor with original paint, drive train and interior (except for the driver’s seat). We had distributor problems during the Temecula meet which prevented us from completing any of the tours so we missed out on the judging.

The car ran fabulous in Oregon at the 2006 meet and around town so maybe we had a false sense of security and didn’t have spare points and condensers on hand. We thought it was a bad rotor but one picked up during the swap meet didn’t completely fix our issues.

That said, personally, I will not be modifying my Pierce at all.

I plan to pass it down to the next generation as I am our family’s 3rd generation owner.
