    Verbiage from Craigslist ad:

    “1933 Pierce Arrow Club Brougham Coupe

    Black with tan interior. Original unrestored car. Runs and drives well. Needs total restoration or leave original and drive. This is an elegant classic car. Transmission has just been rebuilt and other mechanicals are in good shape. The headlights do not work.

    1933 pierce arrows were the first automobile engines to use hydraulic valve lifters, and the cars had mechanical power brakes that are very reliable and in perfect working condition on this car. The engines were very reliable and following the bankruptcy of Pierce Arrow in 1938, they were used into the early 1960s in Seagrave fire trucks.”

    The VIN is given as 256528 which could be an engine number as it is 6 digit though it does not fall into any known 8 cylinder range. The engine number range for 1933 8 cylinder, 136″ wheelbase cars is 235001-236543.”

    They could easily have misread the engine and it’s actually 236528.

    Great car, and a very fair price if your looking for a project. I would clean it up and use it as it is. Great year and body style, hard to beat.

    The ad states that 1933 is the first year for hydraulic valve lifters. Actually, a few late 1932 cars had hydraulic valve lifters.

    The interior wood looks to be in great shape.

    Were radios standard for 1933?
