Reply To: Naples car show

[Brooks Brierley]

Karl –

The Florida Region has always had Pierce family members in our Roster. They often suggest our meets/get togethers try to bring Pierce-Arrows into settings just like they appeared originally. It is fairly easy to do that in Florida. Country clubs are good for this; Palm Beach is an entire city that is not just like where Pierce were seen, it is exactly where they were, and the same buildings remain. So car show venues are rarely at the top of our list (but it is certainly a good show to see them, regardless of what they are doing).

Having the Naples Daily News cover our lunch last Sunday had a surprise. It seemed to be local coverage, but the newspaper is part of the Gannett chain. From what I can tell, that story is available through Google, too. So what appears to be a local story is a much larger illustrated promotion piece, with a circulation possibly greater than the Sunday New York Times! So we have also created some Pierce-Arrow buzz – which I hope also increases interest the annual meet you are planning for Pennsylvania.
