Stuart: If you don’t want to keep all those tubes, I would gladly purchase four of them.

Bob Sands reminded me of the history of this car, going back a long time to Buffalo. Perhaps he will chime in and relate it to you.

I would not order a color mixed to original specs. I made that mistake once. Look at a fleet color book, and order a color that is “factory pack”” and can always be ordered off the shelf.”

I get so excited about the Optima battery deal that I still have two in boxes. Each spring I take them out, give them a little charge, and put them back in the box. My ’31 Pierce Optima was in the car for 15 years, when I finally changed it because I thought I should.

I have replaced the wiring harness in any old car that I have owned older than 1950. Invariably, when replacing the harnesses in my 1936, or 1931, there have been bare wires in the old harness. The 1931 had bx conduits, and I found bare wires on steel! Someone told me that after 1950 there was rubber under the cloth outer layer.

You are correct. Jim Ladd’s car was a ’29. I knew Al Rodway. He was a friend of Al Ferrara’s and Tiny Gould. I believe that all the cars in his museum were sidecurtain cars. In addition, and there may have been exceptions: all of his cars had narrow pleated leather upholstery (maintains its structural integrity better), and fender mounted spotlights.

That appears to be Jim Ladd’s car from Pa. years ago. If Tom Lester did the engine, one could be assured that it is mechanically perfect

The junior and senior series clocks are different for those years. The clock David is seeking is like the one in the ’31 model 42 I sold. They are hard to find, and according to clock repair people, not of very high quality

These were reproduced in the late ’60’s early 70’s. Hard to tell an original from a repo.

A large number of wiper motors I have seen were Model A Ford chrome reproduction motors. They function beautifully, and cannot be told from original except to the most discriminating observers. In an attempt to restore a set of originals, I finally gave up and sold them to someone else willing to be aggravated.

Oftimes when we see a ’33 Convertible coupe or Convertible sedan with Chromed door hinges, it is claimed to be a LeBaron body. Maybe they are. However, the top and whole rest of the body sure looks like the top configuration that Pierce copied from the Derham body company starting in 1931

I was always told this was a factory store, built by Studebaker after the takeover. Bob Sands would know for sure

Both my 1931 abd 1936 Pierce had/have Pierce script keys.

Tom had a Duesenberg, Chrysler T&C and some others. No other Pierce-Arrows to my knowledge.
