The car was sitting in a post-war housing neighborhood. Behind the house, was a single detached garage, where the Pierce had sat since the 1950s. The man that owned it had several cars. He eventually sold them all but the pierce. He drove the car often. His daughter remembered going to the ice cream parlor in the car.

Eventually, the car lost compression in one cylinder and was parked in the single stall garage.

The car sat in the garage since the mid-1950s. It sat for so long that trees grew in from of the garage door. The trees had to be cut away so they could get the car out.

The man had died a few years earlier and never saw the car leave the garage where he parked it.

Some months later, I sat down on the sofa to watch Chasing Classic cars. One of my favorite shows at the time. On came the unearthing of the pierce. They cut away the trees that blocked the garage door. They pushed it out, and my heart skipped a beat. Loved it.

Wayne Carini stated the car was worth some HUGE price. I remember thinking, WEll, too much for me. Several months later it reappeared on chasing classic cars when they featured an “all original” auction by Bonhams.

The car did not meet the reserve and that was the last time I figured I would ever see the car. A year or so later, I saw an ad in Hemings. I thought, mmmm? wonder if that is the same car. I pulled the site up and was surprised to see, there was the car.

It took another 6 months of communication to get the car bought.

To bad you passed. It was/is solid as a rock from bumper to bumper. I’m glad its mine, but most important that this rolling piece of art has made it’s way back to the road. 😁

I love it. It matches the fenders and reveal quite well.

Dave,

Here is my sample. Quite dirty. It does show the teal if you look close.

Dave,

I have found a high-end teal green. I do not remember the manufacturer at the moment but do remember that it is from Germany. It’s a pretty close match.

HI Dave,

There are a few imperfections in the paint that will get fixed after the upholstery. The underside is going to be done as well at that time.

The top will be a dark teal green. (not sure if I should accent it with the body color) I originally was going to match the interior to the top, but now feel that the dark green would be way too heavy looking. I will match the gold tones instead.

Hi,

Several people have commented that they like the black and gold on the car. The actual color, though hard to see in the photo, is a very dark teal green and pearl sand or champagne. Neither is metallic.

I was informed by many that metallic was a capital offense on this car.

I will let the upholstery guy know. thanks!
