    Hello David,
    Thanks for your time to post and share information on lubricating the 1931 Model 42 Pierce-Arrow. Your information is most informative. I would like to learn a bit more about what ZDDP is and how it affects engines and reliability. As I am a very new Model 42 owner, what is to be done regarding engine oil filtration?

    Here is yet another question. This question involves what is correct and proper for the horn on a 1931 Model 42 Pierce-Arrow. I have seen some Model 42’s, in picture, with double chrome plated Bosch horns each mounted under the front park lamps, more like what a 1934-35 would look like. I have a horn bracket mounted to the top of the cylinder head on the Black Model 42 which is the subject of this chat. The horn that is fitted to the horn bracket on the cylinder head is a large Klaxon. I assume that the Klaxon is correct? But….are the twin Bosch horns also correct?

    Who owns a solid, original 1931 Pierce-Arrow Model 41 or 42, that is willing to share information relating to my question above on what is correct for installation of the Horn.

    Al,

    Below is a drawing out of the 1930 Parts Manual. 1931 does not have any drawings. I looked for some ’31 photos but don’t seem to have any. Hopefully a ’31 owner will contact you. If not, you can do a search for 1931 42 in the vehicle roster and this will give you some owners you could contact.

    What information are you looking for on the oil filter?

    Hello David, I hope this is a good Mother’s Day for you and your wife. Thanks for your time to respond to my inquiry regarding proper horns for the 1931 Pierce-Arrow Model 42. The provided sketch from 1930 shows the same layout that is on my Pierce-Arrow. I will post a picture of my horn.
