Thanks everyone for all of the information. I wasn’t seriously thinking of buying this car, but wanted to get an idea of the costs involved. When I do eventually get a car, I’d want a nice driver where I wouldn’t have to worry too much about mechanical issues. One thing I like so much about the PAS is that people are so helpful on these items. Greg, once I do get a car, I’ll be sure to contact you first of all to get some model specific recommendations about service intervals and storage. I’m sure there is a lot of maintenance that I can do myself. I’m also worried about the best methods of off season storage. For the time being, I don’t have a heated garage, but that might well change after I retire in a few years. You guys with farms are lucky! Not much room for storage in a 2 1/2 car garage on the back end of a city lot! In any event, I’m sure that I’ll have a nice relationship with my Pierce when I eventually get one. This year I pulled rank and seniority and am going to take off for both St. Louis and Gilmore. See you all there.
Ken, looking forward to seeing you at both events.

Just a note to say I can’t wait for the St. Louis meet to see so many PA owners and enthusiasts, AND to welcome them to my city. My 1928 PA model 81 will be there. She’s a wonderful car with her Preservation badge and drives everywhere. See you in St. Louis in June. DAVE STEPHENS
David, I’m looking forward to meeting you and seeing your car!
