I am looking at a 1931 Pierce-Arrow with a purchase possibility. Here is my question. What is the total length from bumper to bumper? If this current search ends in a purchase, I need to see how much floor space is needed to park it. I know that the Model 42 has a wheelbase of 142″ but I don’t know the front and back overhang. If you own one of these, and are willing, please put a tape to it. I also need to know for transporting how much trailer is required.

Good luck with your search. I have a 1931 model 42 sport phaeton. Just measured it bumper to bumper and it is 216”. My car has the spare in the rear and that measurement will accommodate the spare. As for a trailer, I have a 26’ trailer but you don’t need that much. If I remember correctly I rented a 20’ trailer to go pick it up. You might want to go for a 22’ just so you have a bit more room.
Another important thing to consider is the curb weight is something north of the 4800 pounds shipping weight from the factory for a 5-passenger sedan. It limited my choices when I bought my 31 model 43 sedan.
Alan,
Here is weight and length information from the 1931 Dealer Data Book:
