Reply To: 1937 Pierce Arrow Sold at Mecom Auction this Week

[Scott Dwyer]

Trouble is, I think a lot of people won’t buy a car at an auction and therefore won’t even make the effort to attend. I’m that way. I want to buy a car from the owner who knows its history, not from some circus-like auction house or a dealer looking for a quick profit who knows nothing about the car.

I hope anyone with a Pierce for sale posts it here to let a PAS member have a chance to get a good car at a reasonable price before it goes to auction. Because once at the auction, there is no guarantee that it will bring big bucks. Like with this ’37, could be just the opposite. And you’ve got to pay them a hefty seller’s commission.

I’m in the market for a 1920’s Dual Valve or earlier Pierce, but I’m just biding my time to wait for the right owner who wants to pass along his car “in the family”” for a reasonable price rather than put it on the block. Someday I’ll find that owner.”
