Protect your investment by driving it regularly. That car with the Stewart-Warner Power brake system will stop like a modern car, but don’t use freewheeling in mountainous areas. Any ’33-35 has the best brakes around until discs came the norm. The V-12 is strong and reliable once the cobwebs are cleared out.

Our 1933 1247 (my Sports Bus!)gets several hundred miles of exercise each year, often driven by other members because I have another Pierce.

This is an original CA car, resprayed in 1959, engine done in 2001. Get it out and drive it on club tours to start with so there are knowledgeable people around to help with any problems. Join VMCCA, AACA and CCCA for their tours and bring it to PAS events whenever you can.

Cars are like people…both need and benefit from exercise. Avoid ethanol gas or redo carbs, pumps & rubber fuel lines to avoid degradation of same.
