Mine was a very early production 29 based on the vin. It did NOT have the salon package. I was very fortunate to find an original pair from a very nice doctor.

I put them on my car. The wirering was there in the original harnes. However, there was only one factory opening for the switch. It was on the pasenger rear door jam.

It actually makes sense for the time. You would open that door for the owner. it was the curb side and would light up the interior dome as well as the running board.

The owner of the yellow DC might be able to tell us if the lights come on when any of the four doors open, or just one like mine?

Thanks guys,

The mechanic said he was reving it too high before he shifted. 3rd by 15-20mph seemed a bit odd but, the car liked it.

Hi all,

A comment and question from the mechanic.

He indicated there is a slight “whrrr” in 1st and 2nd gear. 3rd is dead quiet and runs smooth as silk.

Is the slight “wrrrr” in the first two gears normal for a Pierce???

Thanks, Rick

Hi all,

The mechanic called to tell me he was ready to roll. My phone rolled over to voice mail that I did not recieve for two days. grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

The car was driven 18 miles. It did not overheat, and performed perfectly. I am so sad that i missed it.

I am sickened that I missed the inaugral drive. However, Im thrilled that it came to life. After 70 years. I was told, all spectators smiled wayved and asked questions as they drove by. “what the hell is that”. lolo Ed, NO TOW TRUCK WAS IN SIGHT. LOLOL THANK GOD!!!

I heard about them washing it and making it super nice to look at. I wanted to cry. lolol oH WELL, I OWN IT AND WILL GET A LIFE TIME TO LOOK AT IT. The mechanic said it looked awesome. He can not wait to see the final buff out.

Pictures soon.

p.s. They said their seat was not a folding chair but several blankets folded on top of another to make a cummfy seat. It worked jusit fine. lolol 18 miles were logged on the cars brand new automotive life. 125hp ready to drag any Packard of the ame era. ))

I love seeing the humor in the posts.

Sometimes, I believe ,it gets a bit too serious in here. Its great to learn,live and most importantly, LAUGH. All our rolling pieces of art should make every one smile in one way or another.

Hi,

I left my cover natural metal. It is a very nice contrast to the black paint on the rest of the engine.

Bob,

My mistake. I misread the pierce arrow part. I thought you were looking for a copy of the green book. There are several copies of that publication.

The car has had a 15k price drop to 250k

There are several copies on ebay. Just type in Green book.

Dave,

I’m nearinng the time for upholstry. Your statement is so true. The restorer and vendors have bled me dry. Im Looking for financial shortcuts, but realise I can not take them. The car is beautiful. If I cut now, it will ruin everything done to this point.

A friend (some friend) said I should use PLEATHER. “IT WOULD BE A TON LESS. I knew right then I had to do it the right way with high end materials. PLEATHER, ARE YOU KIDDING ME. LOLOLO

The car is almost there, but is at that stage when you assemble ANYTHING. A few missing things and a few things left over. lololol

One last huge chunk for the upholstery guy. IT HAS TO BE RIGHT OR IT WILL RUIN EVERYTHING ELSE.
