I’ve no connection with this car at all, but ran across the ad on the internet.
Other than the St. Paddy’s paint job, which I don’t think is all that bad (I’ve seen Pierces painted MUCH worse) , the car looks decent. For me, it’s too far away to look at but someone in the Phoenix area ought to check it out, or perhaps knows who’s car it is and the history.
I know nothing about “Cave Creek Auction”” or this “”Proxy Bid”” thing. I’d just like to know more about the car.
I can’t or don’t know how the link works. If it is the car I think it is, I saw it sold at the last or one of the last Harrah’s auction in 1986 (or so) Is it a real bright green?
I even remember what it sold for! Around $35000
Tony,
You have to right click and highlight the whole 5 lines and then left click in the http block in your browser then right click “paste” then go.
I couldn’t find the chassis #2225002, in the roster. It is green.
It is listed as an Ex Harrah’s car and one of his favorites.
I’m sure this car is known as ‘Kermit’.

I’ve always thought these ’37 Pierces had very handsome dashboards and cockpits in general. Very appealing with the big round dials. Even the gearshift lever has a bend in it so you can slide across the seat easier. Man, but Pierce-Arrows are nice cars. . . . But you all knew that.
It is the same car, as the auction house mentions it coming from Harrahs. I recall the paint being very bright, this was a nice car. I don’t know about the green interior.
The first owner was a leprechaun from Hollywood Hills. I’m green
with envy.
Owner is Larry Ragland, AZ. Member back in 1999 & prior with this 1701 Club Sedan listed, but then apparently dropped until recently. Wonder why he hasn’t advertised in the Emporium. It didn’t sell at the auction.

By definition, Anthony Costa, neither you nor I were said Leprechaum
Nice to see this old friend again. Back in 1980 I was looking for a Classic to restore, what I wanted was either a 32-37 senior Packard or a 29-35 Pierce. The first car I considered was actually a ’36 Pierce club sedan in very rough condition I found in Hemmings. This ’37 was the closest thing Harrahs had to it and I use to go down to stare at it trying to convince myself a ’36 with pontoon fenders was close enough to what I wanted. The museum would close at 6:00 and if I went down after 5:00 they would let me in without paying. I loved the interior and dash of this car, but really wanted a 35 or earlier because the flowing reverse curve fenders were (and are) a big deal to me and ’35 was the last year for that for Pierce. Great to see this car is still out there looking great and hopefully will find a good home.
