Current Title
After searching, I found this contract from the consignment company from which my dad purchased the car. They said the owner previous to my dad was Amjad “Jim” Hamatto. I called him and he said he purchased the car from Mitch Pinion of North Carolina. Jim was the car came to with the engine assembled and running well, but that the exterior chrome had been removed, the dash was in pieces, and the back of the car was filled with boxes containing the door knobs, taillight bezels, etc. Jim confirmed that Mitch Pinion had been in the process of restoring the car, but divorce forced him to sell it. I’ll be posting pictures of the car from Jim as soon as I receive them.
This link will take you to a Google Docs folder with receipts from Mitch Pinion:

Here is the URL for my the 1936 Pierce-Arrow at my dad’s website. I didn’t realize the link above was broken.
The folks who maintain the forum should now that the Optional URL box adds “http://”” to the front a URL even if it already begins with the secure “”https://”” prefix. Note the “”s”” in the prefix. This means links to any secure site will be broken unless the user realizes this is happening and removes the prefix before posting the link.”
This will take you a series of hand-written notes on the car:
