Peter, I wasn’t sure if you’d seen the video. I believe that Bill Morris took photos of all the cars as they came on the show field. I am sure the regular photo page will get posted. Here’s a photo of the Weis Award winner to tide you over.
Peter,
There is a link posted by Liz Horne on the Message Board that has a copy of the slide and video show presented at the banquet. It is under “2019 Pierce-Arrow Meet Video Link”, already a page or two back in the Message Board postings. A copy of the link is below.

Go to the “Library”” tab under “”Member Pages”” on the left side of the webpage and you can look up what year/model manual reprints are available from the AACA library. There is also information on how to order reprints from AACA.”
My browser (Firefox) gives the option using Password Manager to save logins. Once saved, all I have to do is click OK when the login window comes up. Internet Explorer and Edge also have a similar option.
Liz – Your link worked fine for me. Thanks for posting. Dave
and don’t forget the show…… a little more rain.
Glad to hear you all made it home OK. Sounds like a great trip.
Eric,
I would be happy to do a few (4 or 5), It only takes a minute. If you could put together a description of what you did and the photos and e-mail them to me, I can put it in a future issue of the Service Bulletin. Dave
I had been following them to see what the sold for, just out of curiosity. The prices came from the auction company’s website. Dave
Karl, wrong lot numbers. The 1917 48-B-4, lot 435 went for $84,000. The 1928 Series 81 , lot 433, went for $44,800. These included fees.
The 906 V-12 was a Seagrave design, and was designed as a fire service engine to replace a 1013 cu in. 6. It was first available in 1932. Originally 240 hp, later 268. These were used in the large Seagrave pumpers with big pumps primarily used in large cities. Road speed was probably a secondary consideration. The Pierce-Arrow 12 was adopted as the “small” V-12 around 1936.
Based on the number of discharges and size of the hard suctions in the photos, the pump on the engine in the ad was either 1000 or 1250 gpm, large for the time.
Don – Have you been having races with Greg in his ’25?
Luke – A great looking car. I hope to meet you and see your car at the Indiana meet.
Don – I’m looking forward to a trip around the block in your new ride at Indiana.

If you are unfamiliar with how an AGM (Optima) battery is different from a regular flooded battery, there is an article in PASB 2019-2 that gives the pros and cons and specifications of both types of batteries, as well as general battery information.
Some have already received PASB 2019-2, so if you haven’t, it should be in your mailbox in the next few days. It is also posted on the website under “Service Bulletins””.”
Eric,
If you are trying to upload a picture, it must be below a certain size or the server times out. I upload mine at 1200 pixels on the long side and it works fine and the picture is large enough that there is plenty of detail. There have been a number of ways discussed here on how to resize. A photo program, Powerpoint, or a phone app specifically for photo resizing. Another option is an online resize program. https://resizeimage.net/
See below.
I hope this helps.
Dave
Bill,
Restoration Supply carries LED bulbs, including headlights. You might give them a call to find out if they will work in your car. If you do please let us know what you find out.
We had a great time. Lots of neat things to see and do. Thanks Merlin and Jane.
Dave and Donna
I would stay away from Passport. It took over three months for them to deliver the car when two to three weeks was promised, communication from them was non existent and the car was damaged when it arrived.

It is in the Printed Roster under “Alphabetical Listing By Last Name”. At the end of each listing it is in Brackets, [your # followed by the year you joined]. If you don’t have a printed Roster yet, contact the membership Chair, Janet Lange at [email protected]
Greg, Have you ever used NLGI grade 00 or 000 grade of grease for enclosed u-joints or steering boxes? Both are listed as flowable, with 00 being the consistency of applesauce and 000 like ketchup. The food examples came from a supplier website so don’t blame me for making you hungry. Regular chassis grease is NLGI grade 2 (peanut butter). Dave
