Woodwork 36-UU

[Author nameAuthor names are only available to PAS members.]

Hello,

My name is Richard Overmeer from Holland. I have a restoration company, see http://www.RichardOvermeer.nl, and at this moment we restoring a 1911 36-UU.

We want to restore this car in the most possible original way.

We are now working on the woodwork inside the aluminum body, to make it all as it was when he left the factory.

Now is my question if anybody has good foto’s, or messurements of the original wood? Especially the wood from and under the seats, but everything is welcome, couchframes,- wood to fit the upholstery.

Please reply to [email protected]

Many thanks in advance.

Kind regards,

Richard Overmeer

Richard,

If you look at the PAS Roster (in the Member Pages Section, just to the left of this message), you can search for PAS members who own the 1911 36-UU.

You will find at least six.

If I were you, I would contact each of them by email and see what they might have in terms of what you need.

I rather expect that some of them restored, or had restored, their 36-UU.

I trust that this information is helpful.

Allen Schmidt has a 1910 Model 36-UU that he has restored. He has extensive

experience with Brass Pierce restoration through his restoration shop and

prior employment with a massive P-A stable. He also owns Restoration Supply

Company. He is a member of our Society and puts on a 1 & 2 Tour for Rodney

Flournoy. If I recall, he’s done a 1911 48-SS. I don’t think that there is much

wood involved in the bodies. There are several Automotive Libraries that

will supply copies of their literature on hand. I believe that The Antique Auto

Club of America Library has a good Pierce-Arrow collection. If you need more

library advice, I will provide it.

Tony is correct.

The Pierce-Arrow Society Library is housed at the AACA Library in Hershey, PA. The AACA Library can provide copies of anything in the library charging a reasonable hourly rate for research and modest cost for copies. You can contact them via internet.

Many thanks for your reactions, i’m very helped with it.

The AACA Library seems like a perfect institution for some information, its great that they make the information available.

I will contact them, and hoped they can help me with some drawnings or pictures.

As second option i will contact PAS members who own a 1911 36-UU.

Thanks again for thinking along with me.

Peter Fawcett supplies body castings for brass and teens bodies. He may be

able to shed some light on how to assemble and attach wood to the bodies.

His contact information is in the roster. As this is his business, I would

seek his help first. If the AACA Library comes up short, there are about

four other major libraries that do research for a nominal fee. Send me a

response here if you need information on their addresses. I’m impressed

with the fine work you are doing as illustrated by the image on your

company site. It would be neat if you could send some larger pictures to

this forum.

I have already had contact with Fawcett, and the reply a very kindly e-mail. Unfortunately the couldn’t help me at the moment, but they will search for some info.

I also had contact with mr. Allan Schmidt. He send me a few good photos of the seat base of a 1908 Great Arrow, which helped me a lot.

So i have already helped a good end, but all info is of course still welcome.

I added 1 photo of woodwork on the front section, for who is interested.

Thanks for you help so for.

Jeff Harper, a member of our Society, owner of a large collection,

and knowledgeable auto historian, has a 1912 P-A 36UU that is in

the process of restoration. I don’t believe it has upholstery in it.

I would think that there is little difference between it and the ’11.
